Reduce Dependency on Inefficient, Outdated Servers
Virtual servers can help lower a company’s ongoing energy expenses. Virtualization lets IT managers clear out old, out-of-warranty machines that require more power and cooling and consolidate core business applications on today’s more energy-efficient models.

In addition to energy savings, virtualization can also enable a simplified IT infrastructure that helps companies migrate to the latest hardware features for security and data protection without disrupting core business functions.

This in turn can also shrink the amount of space needed to physically house a datacenter—which, over time, reduces overhead in terms of both real estate and maintenance.

Extend the Useful Life of Legacy Software
With virtualization, long-term software investments can be protected while taking advantage of newer, more efficient hardware and operating systems.

Virtualization allows the flexibility to continue using legacy and custom-written applications without the expense of version upgrades or software rewrites.

IT managers can simply create a dedicated virtual machine for a legacy application that will run in parallel with other virtual machines for newer applications, all on the same server.

This not only eliminates skyrocketing support and maintenance expenses for the out-of-date server hardware previously required to run legacy software, but it can also significantly increase the performance and security of running those programs as well.
