Abstract
Server virtualisation offers the promise of delivering irresistible benefits, including the consolidation of several autonomous servers into a single virtualised environment, the ability to scale the performance of servers as the business grows, the flexibility to quickly adapt to changing business needs and the capability to deliver automation that will keep applications running at peak performance. However, virtualising the server infrastructure is only a small component of deploying an efficient and cost effective datacentre.Many organisations have adopted server virtualisation because of the business benefits it offers. However, key areas of the next-generation datacentre have been overlooked, specifically in the area of network security infrastructure.In order to realise the full potential of the virtualised server architecture, the supporting infrastructure must deliver the same consolidation, scale, adaptability and automation benefits. Transitioning to a virtualised security infrastructure in co-ordination with virtualised servers can properly align the supporting security, explains Brian Robertson of Crossbeam Systems.
