It doesn’t take a degree in accounting to understand that the ability to increase server and storage capacity without having to invest a dime in additional hardware translates into huge cost savings. Savings not only in terms of hardware costs, but also in the power consumption, heat dissipation and management costs associated with deploying additional hardware. One natural evolution of the virtualization trend is to combine the benefits of special-function appliances and mix them with the virtualization approach. Hardware appliances are a great way to encapsulate a customized operating system, required services and an application. Virtual appliances are that encapsulation applied to the virtual computing world. Download this whitepaper to learn how virtual appliances can eliminate "appliance overload" by combining the advantages of hardware appliances and virtualization technology and how can realize rapid ROI with virtual appliances for messaging security. |
