Virtualization Overview

Dominique Dessy
Technology Consultant

Benefits of Virtualization
Freedom to put your information wherever you want,
whenever you want
without downtime
Freedom to consume and release capacity when needed
without downtime
Optimize information infrastructure
without downtime
Enable data mobility
without downtime
Reduce hardware by consolidating data
without downtime
