Virtual Enterprises Reach for Cloud Computing
Keywords:
virtual enterprise, cloud computing, server virtualization, application virtualization, virtualization solutionsAbstract
UNCTAD reports that enterprises must be able to make the best use possible of ICTs, as they positively affect productivity in both large and small enterprises. New ITC technologies are a prerequisite for the concept of virtual enterprise. They are instruments companies can use in their search for efficiency. IT managers are under constant pressure to deliver optimal support to growing, fluctuating demands from ever-changing applications, to manage spikes and control costs. Many of them turn to virtualization for better distribution of workload on the hardware support. Server virtualization, or application virtualization are milestones on the way to cloud computing. This brings to the table an intelligent approach to virtualization and a business-mind.References
