2. 2
What is Virtualization?
By decoupling the data and applications from the physical resources
they run on, IT organizations have the flexibility to manage resources
in new ways that allow them to meet changing workload demands.
Types of Virtualization
• Server
• Storage
• Network
• Applications
• Operating Systems

3. 3
Why Virtualization?
A fully orchestrated
virtualized infrastructure can
respond quickly to new
application demands and
service requirements,
because IT is not constrained
by a predetermined
relationship between
services and physical
hardware.

Virtualization Benefits
With correct methodology, virtualization can:
• Increase server, network, storage & application resource utilization
• Increase operational efficiency & responsiveness to business units
• Reduce rack footprint, power & cooling costs
• Centralize management & reduce administrative costs
• Reduce Recovery Point Objective & Recovery Time Objective
• Increase security & data protection
• Create a more scalable & reliable IT environment
• Improve product lifecycle management
• Lower total cost of ownership

Virtualized IT Resources
Servers
Server virtualization can consolidate
several physical machines into one
server running multiple virtual
environments. This can eliminate
server sprawl, increase server
utilization, and significantly reduce
capital and operating
expenses. InterVision’s virtualization
experts design and deploy a
consolidation strategy based on best-
in-class virtualization solutions and
technologies.

Virtualized IT Resources
Desktops
Virtual desktops can make it easier
to get new computers up and
running, simplify desktop
management, improve security, and
reduce hardware, software and
resource costs. InterVision can help
you choose the right infrastructure
and software to create a dynamic
virtual desktop infrastructure
solution that improves application
performance and efficiently utilizes
resources.

Virtualized IT Resources
Storage
Storage Virtualization is the separation
of logical storage from physical
storage so that it may be accessed
without regard to physical storage or
heterogeneous structure.
Virtualization of storage helps achieve
location independence by abstracting
the physical location of the data. The
virtualization system presents to the
user a logical space for data storage
and handles the process of mapping it
to the actual physical location.

9. 9
Virtualized IT Resources
Network
With software-defined networking, virtualization principles are applied to
network resources, abstracting, pooling and automating them to
overcome the limitations of physical architectures. Network services are
assigned to each application and remain with it, adapting to its changing
requirements.

10. 10
Virtualized IT Resources
Applications
Application virtualization
encapsulates application software
from the underlying operating
system on which it is executed. A
virtualized application behaves
like it is directly interfacing with
the original operating system and
all the resources managed by it,
but can be isolated or sandboxed
to varying degrees.
