What Is Infrastructure Virtualization?

With virtual infrastructure, the physical resources of multiple computers can be shared across the entire infrastructure. With virtual machines, you can share the resources of a single physical machine among multiple virtual machines for maximum efficiency. Resources are shared between multiple virtual machines and applications. Business needs are the driving force that dynamically maps the physical resources of the infrastructure to the application, even as those needs change. X86 servers, networks, and storage can be aggregated into a unified IT resource pool that applications can use whenever needed. This resource optimization approach helps organizations achieve greater flexibility, reducing capital and operating costs.
