Virtualization

From strategy to support, IT managers are expected to do it all. Often they are the unsung heroes who fix problems, install software and use every means available to keep the servers up and running. Nowhere is this truer than on school campuses where aging infrastructures, dwindling budgets and the exploding use of mobile technology are the norm. Virtualization is proving to be the answer for many schools and colleges who operate with small IT staffs and limited budgets.

Consider these statistics:

60% of IT directors say cloud computing a priority
68% of all workloads now run on virtual machines
21% annual savings

Flexibility and scalability make virtualization very attractive, not to mention the cost savings for everything from hardware to electricity.
