MIDDLESEX, UK, February 08, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- February 07, 2009 - Enfield, London, Interactive Ideas, one of the UK"s leading value-added IT and Technology distributors has announced the first in what is planned to be a monthly focus on the trend in technologies from the IT manufacturers it represents.
Virtualisation is a process, the results of which mean consolidation of the hardware requirements of an organisation into a more streamlined, and therefore, efficient set up. In a period of economic slow down and uncertainty for some businesses, companies are looking for ways to be as efficient as possible. For example a company with 3 physical servers can now consolidate, through the use of virtualisation software, down to 1 physical server maintaining the same profile of 3 servers, but in a virtual environment. This also has a huge benefit to any company in terms of its energy costs and helps organisations to meet their "Green" targets.
The leading market research companies are predicting a two-thirds take up of virtualisation technologies by the end of 2009, with the market value of the associated virtualisation services market set to more than double from the current, estimated, value of US $5.5billion to US $11.7billion by the year 2011.
Michael Breeze, Interactive Ideas Marketing Director commented "Interactive Ideas are leading the way in bringing products and services from its suppliers to address developing markets and this new initiative will focus on the products supplied by Red Hat, Acronis and Solarwinds that assist in creating a fast, reliable and secure virtual environment."
