Virtualization has become an essential part of modern IT infrastructure, allowing organizations to optimize resource utilization, enhance scalability, and improve overall efficiency. When it comes to choosing a virtualization platform, two major players stand out: VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V.

While both offer robust solutions for creating and managing virtual machines (VMs), let’s take a closer at why VMware might be the preferred choice for many enterprises.

Disaster Recovery for critical applications is an important part of any Business Continuity Plan. Most, if not all, IBM Power servers, host mission-critical applications and the need for a standby server at a secondary location is essential for an effective disaster recovery plan. With the introduction of cloud-based POWER servers it has become much easier and more cost effective to have a standby server at a remote location. The customer does not need to purchase a server with idle capacity and host it in a remote datacenter to achieve their DR goals.

In our last blog (The next wave of virtualization: Why does Hyper-convergence matter?) we introduced the concept of hyper-convergence and how it evolved. We had touched on the beginnings of Server Virtualization and that typically everyone thought of VMware in that respect. 

For many people, when they think of the beginning of server virtualization, VMware generally comes to mind. But the fact is, server virtualization actually started in the early 1960’s and was pioneered by companies like General Electric (GE), Bell Labs, and IBM.

On Thursday, May 26, join us for an informative session on the latest trends in hyper converged technology.

Modern business today depends on IT infrastructure as its backbone. Organizations can exploit it to expand into new, fast-growing markets. It’s also critical to launch new customer services and key to leverage data and utilize data analytics within business processes.

Today’s business world is becoming ever more reliant on the data centre, which has become the heart of any modern organization. With virtualization and cloud computing proliferation, we are hearing that this is a great time to transform the data centre and empower organizations in the process.

Managing an enterprise data center today presents extreme challenges. As most companies, you are experiencing tremendous growth coupled with the multiple challenges from both an operational and financial perspective.
