What is a virtualised architecture?

A virtualised architecture is an infrastructure in which servers, storage and sometimes networks are virtualised.

It combines physical equipment and virtual resources to create a flexible, scalable environment. This makes it possible to centralise resources, reduce costs and simplify the management of IT systems.

Benefits

  • Lower hardware costs: no more need to invest in several physical servers or computers.
  • Isolation of applications and sensitive data: each virtual environment can be configured to separate critical tasks and prevent unauthorised access.
  • Protection against hardware theft: even if a physical computer or server is stolen, data remains secure and accessible from the virtual environments.

Key points

  • Centralisation: unified management of resources from a single interface.
  • Scalability: resources can be added or removed quickly as needed.
