Infrastructure simplification adds business value by providing the streamlined framework needed to properly assess and transform an IT infrastructure. By eliminating infrastructure sprawl, you can help increase server and storage utilization rates significantly, and lower costs with a common management platform and tooling.
IBM systems with virtualization offer an excellent platform for application testing and deployment, helping you cut time to market and lower costs. Virtualization can help enable rapid infrastructure provisioning (minutes compared to days). It can help developers to speed application testing and deployment, enhance collaboration and improve access to infrastructure.
Virtualization can help IT managers secure and isolate application workloads and data within virtual servers and storage devices for easier replication and restoration. This added resiliency can provide IT managers with greater flexibility for maintaining high availability while performing planned maintenance, and in configuring low-cost disaster-recovery solutions.
