A virtual datacenter (VDC) is cloud computing platform that offers processing power, storage bandwidth, and memory that is specifically designed to meet the needs of a business. VDCs can be implemented on-premises, through multiple cloud environments – private hybrid, private, or any combination of these.
One of the biggest benefits of VDCs is that they can cut down or even remove the need for businesses to invest in physical hardware. The cost of acquiring and maintaining new equipment as well as offering backups is very high. This expense can be reduced by outsourcing the management of an entire data center to a third-party.
Scalability is an additional benefit. A VDC is a great choice for businesses that are growing rapidly, because it is easily scaled to meet the demands of increased capacity by introducing more resources. This can be accomplished at virtual data center less cost and in a shorter timeframe compared to purchasing and installing equipment. VDCs allow businesses to easily reduce their infrastructure if demand is decreasing, removing unnecessary expenses.
VDCs can also enhance security by decreasing the number of physical components that are exposed to the risk of failure. Furthermore the VDC can offer backups of all virtual machines using the hypervisor to keep snapshots of all operating systems and applications running on each server. This offers a high level of protection against system failures and other catastrophes.
Finally you will find that a VDC is very efficient in making use of power, and can help you save money on your energy bills as well. A VDC uses a lot less energy than a traditional data center which requires a large amount of power to keep the equipment cool and running.
