What is Infrastructure Virtualisation?
Infrastructure Virtualisation is the consolidation of the number of physical servers required to run the business by utilising virtualisation to run multiple workloads on fewer servers. In a virtualised environment, physical servers are used to run multiple instances of virtual servers, increasing the utilisation of the hardware investment already made by the business and reducing the requirement for physical servers in the future.
