VerifiedIntroduction to Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

Lisa's organization has multiple servers that support the needs of different businesses and clients. Each server runs different applications to keep them isolated from one another. The server room incurs huge costs because of the number of servers, including massive cooling systems, server maintenance, data-center footprint, and quicker server provisioning. An audit of the resources found that most servers are idle for two-thirds of business hours because they are dedicated to faster recovery during disasters and application isolation. Lisa is seeking a solution to reduce the cost of maintaining these servers, optimize resource utilization, and save money on the energy used to keep the servers cool. Which solution can meet all of Lisa's needs?

Explanation

Server virtualization consolidates multiple isolated virtual machines onto shared physical hardware. This increases utilization of otherwise idle capacity while reducing the number of physical servers and, consequently, hardware, maintenance, data-center space, power, and cooling costs. Microsoft documents that server consolidation through virtualization improves resource usage and energy efficiency while reducing operational and maintenance costs.
