Solutions - Virtualisation

Virtualisation is “a technique for hiding the physical characteristics of computing resources from the way in which other systems, applications, or end users interact with those resources. This includes making a single physical resource (such as a server, an operating system, an application, or storage device) appear to function as multiple logical resources; or it can include making multiple physical resources (such as storage devices or servers) appear as a single logical resource.

This new virtual view of the resources is not restricted by the implementation, geographic location or the physical configuration of underlying resources. Commonly virtualised resources
include computing power and data storage. Virtualisation is an approach to IT that pools and shares resources so utilisation is optimised and supply automatically meets demand. To achieve this, a holistic approach is used through the integration of people, processes and technologies.

The pressure to ‘do more with less’ is the reality of modern IT strategy. Part of the response to
this issue is the rapid emergence of virtualisation technologies that extend capacity, enhance
efficiency and improve resilience. Ensuring that our channel partners are able to provide
effective virtualisation advice and solutions is a key business driver for Bell Micro.
