Application Virtualisation

Application virtualization is the foundation for enabling Application Delivery, because everything in business starts with applications, and if you can’t virtualize them you will always end up over provisioning to make up for the lack of control.

Most Web and client server applications are typically installed on servers, so server virtualization becomes a critical element to decouple application workloads from physical servers, again giving IT control to optimally balance infrastructure costs and capacity.

Most office users continue to rely on the desktop environment to use their application, so desktop virtualization has also become a core element of application delivery solutions for this large segment of the business workplace.

For the best and most agile application delivery solutions, leading IT organizations determine the needs of their users-–office, task, mobile, power-–and augment their current IT infrastructure with application delivery systems including application virtualization, server virtualization and desktop virtualization.

Without end-to-end virtualization, IT generally ends up massively over-provisioning, buying too much bandwidth, adding too many servers and refreshing PCs on an increasingly short life cycle just to keep up with growing application requirements.
