A virtual infrastructure allows multiple guest servers to be consolidated onto one host server. Now, without spending thousands of dollars on server equipment, you have the ability to reliably and safely consolidate multiple regulated and non-regulated applications on the same server hardware. For any organization, this can mean a high return on investment by saving on unnecessary costs. Within a year you will see the total cost of ownership of the datacentre environment decrease.
Capacity planning allows clients to effectively understand their current server datacentre environment. If you are planning server upgrades or migrations, or tracking system workloads for reporting reasons, then this process is useful to any organization regardless of size. These reports can be customized and tailored to show a variety of useful statistics, which will leave all organization in a better state to plan for future growth.
The emergence of the network as a platform is changing the entire value chain of technology and placing the network squarely at the center of innovation. The role of the network is evolving beyond that of infrastructure. It is emerging as a platform for delivering various services - from traditional networks to storage infrastructures.
