Virtual servers offer significant benefits and challenges that you should consider.
Advantages of virtualisation include cost savings through server partitioning, a reduced data centre footprint, and streamlined resource management for efficient deployment of virtual desktops and other resources.
However, expanding virtualisation can bring hardware design complexities, leading to increased costs if not properly addressed. Performance bottlenecks in servers, networking, storage, or backup systems can also hinder overall performance and require efficient diagnosis for resolution. Ensuring scalability and cost-effectiveness in virtualised environments, particularly regarding storage requirements and performance maintenance, can be a challenge.
