Virtualisation 
 

As processor speeds increase year-on-year (Moore’s Law) utilisation levels are becoming increasingly low. This growth in processor speed, began as an enabler for virtualisation trends and is now becoming mandatory for today’s data centres.

 

With virtualisation technologies changing rapidly, it’s important to have a clear strategy of how to gain the most from your virtualisation projects.
