How virtualization reduces cost for small & medium business

If you are a small & medium business owner, there are many short and long term
advantages from virtualization and you don't need a big budget which makes virtualization attractive in today's economic climate.

>> Add more business resources (application, database) without increasing the number of physical hardware servers you have to worry about.
No matter how well you are prepared, it's tough to anticipate when your business may need to accommodate an inflow of new human resources or new clients that could put a pressure on your technology resources.
Now with virtualization you can consolidate your multiple servers into fewer, more powerful servers and get tasks done efficiently.

 Get a solid disaster recovery option.
Virtualization allows a small & medium business to create ongoing back-up snapshots image of a database or business application that can be replicated in more than one place.
If the main piece of hardware fails, the application can be restored from the fail-over server in a matter of two hours versus 72 hours. This ensure businesses doesnot have to be with their systems being out of use for more than a day. While other disaster recovery strategies can cause you fortunes, virtualization can get this done for you at much lower cost.

Reduction in cost - the go green way
Virtualization is so convincingly good because it enables shortterm and longterm cost reductions in systems maintenance, office real estate and electrical footprint. It is estimated that over 47% of servers only use about 9% of their processing power. Based on these statistics, there are many situations where virtualization technologies allow you to consolidate ten servers for every one. These kinds of savings can be dramatic! There are many studies that show how fast an organization can reduce their cost of operating technological reources, while making money back on your investment. Lowered cooling, electrical, and space requirements allow an organization to instantly notice real savings with virtualization technologies.
Virtualization saves time, money, energy, and reduces your company's carbon footprint.

    Virtualization is a powerful tool that allows developers and IT professionals to streamline software development, testing, and deployment. Server virtualization is the partitioning of a physical server into smaller virtual testing and server virtualization also reduces costs because less hardware is required so that it will easily work in any situation of cloud computing and cloudwedge. thanks

3 main differences between cloud and on-premises storage

To set start with, cloud storage, means hosted object stores like Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon S3, and AT&T Synaptic Storage. While on-premises storage, are all file-oriented storage including NAS, clustered NAS, unified storage, and object storage. Although there are clear technological differences between on-premises storage, many of those differences are erased when deployment is considered. 1>        Cloud storage is highly available as compared to many on-premises storage deployments, with much less complexities. Cloud storage is an attractive choice for data, as prices continue to drop down and the services are getting mature. The advantage of pay-as-you-go versus investing i...

They can be accessed by anyone with internet connection amd subscription. The size of public clouds often exceed private clouds and they offer cheap, “pay as you go”. These clouds are  good  for standardized use such as messaging, email, small crms, storage and collaboration projects.  Security One of the major advantages of going cloud is that the service provider maintains the hardware offsite, reducing the need for businesses to maintain a round the clock IT team. However, business owners tend to think that this also means that their cloud provider can always...
