Virtual infrastructure provides tangible benefits
Faster provisioning and reductions in hardware and power consumption are just a few advantages of using virtual infrastructure from the Office of Information Technology (OIT), rather than purchasing and managing your own. The benefits of OIT’s server systems include:
- scale securely
- load-balancing
- backup and restore capabilities
- network monitoring and security
- savings from economies of scale and reduced power consumption
malicious network attacks blocked
electrical sensors making sure data is securely stored and always available by monitoring the status of the power and cooling services across OIT-managed data centers
