The Bechtle Virtualisation portfolio.
New challenges posed by the virtualisation trend.
Chief executives all agree. Pooling resources in digital systems through virtualisation can lead to substantial savings. It renders many hardware resource components obsolete, while more fully utilising others. As a result, the virtualisation of applications, desktops, printers and storage continues to forge ahead to free up hardware and generate IT resources. But costs aren’t the only benefit, as virtualisation also opens the door to entirely new business gains. For instance, storage reliability is boosted through smart solutions and enhanced redundancy. Manufacturers such as Citrix and Veeam offer sophisticated software solutions for all aspects of virtualisation, available in our Bechtle online shop.
Virtualisation and data security.
One drawback to virtualisation remains, namely the considerable security challenges it poses—despite how well it frees up physical resources. Are existing security strategies for legacy physical components still effective if these modules have since moved into the virtual realm? Is data truly safe in your virtual cloud environment? Can virtual solutions and well-configured IT infrastructure really provide comparable or even better performance than hardware? According to a survey conducted by Bitdefender, the majority of IT decision-makers are highly sceptical of switching from hardware to virtual systems. It’s clear, therefore, that special virtualisation software also compels new solutions and updates to guarantee security. Bechtle keeps a watchful eye on the market, regularly adding new software solutions to our online offering. Many companies are spending an increasing amount of time getting to grips with terms like thin clients, hypervisors, and virtual machines and really engaging with these topics, which is why it’s even more important to have the right IT systems on hand because the staying power of virtualisation depends on the ability to keep your data safe.
Virtualisation software in the Bechtle online shop.
In many business areas, virtualised computer systems have replaced physical hardware. For employees wherever they work, it makes no difference—they can simply keep working as before without noticing the virtualisation. Virtualisation does, however, significantly affect software when it comes to complex tasks. Big industry players such as Microsoft, VMware and Citrix have brought groundbreaking technology onto the market. We offer a broad selection of cutting-edge virtualisation software and more, including several hundred products that also encompass infrastructure and management.
