This PPT slide, part of the 23-slide Service 4.0: 9 Core Technologies PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of virtualization within IT infrastructure, emphasizing its role in enhancing flexibility and robustness. It defines virtualization as the creation of virtual versions of computing resources, which can include hardware platforms, storage devices, and software applications. This approach is likened to cloud computing, suggesting that virtualization is integral to modern IT strategies.
The slide categorizes various applications that benefit from virtualization, such as customer relationship management, e-commerce, and enterprise resource planning. Each category is accompanied by a bar graph that illustrates the distribution of deployment models across these applications as of 2014. The graph distinguishes between traditional on-premises models and those utilizing public or private clouds, providing a visual representation of the shift towards virtualization.
Notably, the data indicates a significant trend: a majority of applications are increasingly being virtualized. For instance, the highest percentage of virtualization is seen in engineering applications, with 50% deployed in a virtualized or cloud environment. This trend reflects a broader movement within organizations to optimize IT resource utilization, allowing multiple workloads to operate on a single machine.
The bottom section of the slide reinforces the message that virtualization enhances resource utilization, a critical factor for organizations looking to improve efficiency and reduce costs. This insight is particularly valuable for decision-makers considering the adoption of virtualization strategies, as it highlights both the operational benefits and the strategic importance of transitioning to a more flexible IT infrastructure.
