Server virtualization
Virtualize your infrastructure on enterprise servers and hypervisors to share IT resources, isolate workloads, reduce costs and prepare for hybrid cloud.
Virtualization for hybrid cloud
Virtualization is an important step in your journey to hybrid cloud. Optimize your IT infrastructure with server virtualization by sharing physical server resources to reduce the need for more servers, speed provisioning of new workloads and scale resources cost-effectively as workloads grow.
Benefits
Virtualization supports the hybrid cloud journey and enables organizations to reduce IT expenses, gain agility and resilience, and isolate workloads more effectively.
Reduce IT expenses
Consolidate thousands of workloads onto one physical server as virtual machines.
Gain agility and resiliency
Provision new virtual machines quickly and live migrate existing virtual machines.
Isolate workloads
Protect workloads from each other and admins by isolating in virtual machines.
Virtual server technologies
Logical partitions
Partition a physical server into LPARs with the highest level of protection - certified to EAL5+.
Virtualization software
Enable more VMs with a hypervisor that delivers scalability, management, and performance.
Open source virtualization
Create and manage virtual machines using familiar tools with the open source KVM hypervisor.
Virtualization solutions with enhanced isolation
Virtual servers on-premises
Build, deploy and manage mission-critical applications for hybrid multicloud environments securely.
Virtual servers in the cloud
Gain authority over workloads in the public cloud and protect your business with a virtual server environment.
Isolated virtual machines
Protect workloads from internal and external threats with isolation at granularity and scale.
