Is There Virtue in Virtualization for Small Businesses

A technology approach called "Virtualization" has been all the rage lately. You may be wondering what it is and how virtualization may relate to your business. If you have not wondered perhaps you should because there is a lot of virtue to this technology.

In simple terms Virtualization is a technology that allows the creation of multiple virtual computers on one actual computer.

It is kind of like when your flat one level parking lot got converted to a multi-level lot. The owner of the lot and parking lot operator could store a lot more cars for a lot more dollars, yet their land cost did not go up at all.

From a small business technology standpoint, the advantages that virtualization presents are numerous, too many to list here. But let me say this. Virtualization will save you money in acquisition and maintenance, reduce space and power usage, and increase utilization.

Here is a pretty simple video that explains some of the benefits of virtualization. If you are interested in this technology a great person to talk to is Mathew Hegarty of http://netatwork.com/ at (646) 293-1752 or mhegarty@netatwork.com
