Virtualisation, cloud computing to drive IT services in future

Virtualisation will pave the way for a new era in Indian information technology. The IT revolution started with mainframe, personal computer, web and now it is the era of cloud computing.. For any company to enter into cloud computing, adaptation of virtualisation is essential, says Seema Ambastha, Director-Technology, VMware Software India. Cloud computing, the latest buzz word, offers a new approach that will enable a company to deliver IT services on demand. Virtualisation enables organisations consolidate and get more from existing or new servers, help save more on power, ensure high availability and business continuity at much lower costs besides helping organisations save more on operational expenses. Though there is much talk in the industry about cloud computing, large players are still sceptical to enter into cloud computing.
