ABOUT VIRTUALIZATION

By transforming the way enterprises deploy and manage their IT resources, virtualization enables more efficient utilization of hardware, software, storage, and personnel. It has helped to reduce server sprawl and given enterprises the agility they need to adapt quickly to changing business and operational conditions.

But though the benefits are vast and growth is rapid, many customers have yet to deploy virtualization in enterprise and mission-critical environments. In the face of today’s economic downtown and with the challenge for IT shops to constantly do more with less, virtualization can deliver true value to enterprises. It is slowly, but surely, taking roots in data centers around Asia.

A big challenge in today’s virtual environments is tying together so many disparate pieces of hardware and software running on different operating systems.

What is Optimization?
Server Optimization helps to create an effective, scalable, flexible and resilient server infrastructure. It helps to secure a future-state server environment and provide a more responsive IT infrastructure. It improves operational efficiencies and enhance and simplify systems management.

What is Virtualization?
Server virtualization is the masking of server resources, including the number and identity of individual physical servers, processors, and operating systems, from server users. The server administrator uses a software application to divide one physical server into multiple isolated virtual environments. The virtual environments are sometimes called virtual private servers, but they are also known as partitions, guests, instances, containers or emulations.

What is Green IT?
Green IT refers to environmentally sustainable computing or IT. It is “the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems-such as monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and communications systems-efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment. Green IT(Yobaz IT) also strives to achieve economic viability and improved system performance and use, while abiding by our social and ethical responsibilities. Thus, green IT includes the dimensions of environmental sustainability, the economics of energy efficiency, and the total cost of ownership, which includes the cost of disposal and recycling. is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently.”

With increasing recognition that man-made greenhouse gas emissions are a major contributing factor to global warming, enterprises, governments, and society at large now have an important new agenda: tackling environmental issues and adopting environmentally sound practices. Greening our IT products, applications, services, and practices is both an economic and an environmental imperative, as well as our social responsibility. Therefore, a growing number of IT vendors and users are moving toward green IT and thereby assisting in building a green society and economy.
