Sell The Real Advantages Of Virtual Recovery

By The Business Solutions Network

A systems integrator wins a $150,000 BDR (backup and disaster recovery) project with a large gaming company by demonstrating the benefits of virtual recovery.

Although virtualization may not get as much press as other technologies such as the cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT), the fact is that virtualization solutions and services are in high demand. Consider this: The procurement and deployment of virtualized servers has more than doubled in the last three years. VMware’s research revealed that virtualized servers are growing at nearly twice the rate of historical physical server procurements and deployments. The study goes on to say that the top five drivers for this shift from physical to virtual servers include reduced hardware costs, server provisioning time reduction, disaster recovery improvements, reduced maintenance/upgrade expenses, and shorter application rollouts.
