Virtualization Engine

Virtualization improves IT resource utilization by allowing system administrators to access and manage resources across a heterogeneous environment. These resources are available virtually, as a single pool, rather than by physical location. The IBM^® Virtualization Engine™ is a set of technologies and systems services that lead you into on demand computing. Its systems services simplify IT resource management by virtualizing data, applications, servers, and network resources. By binding individual resources into one integrated infrastructure, the IBM Virtualization Engine delivers the following benefits:

Simplifies network infrastructure
Reduces cost and complexity by optimizing resource utilization
Increases the business value of IT investments
