    IT organizations are leveraging the benefits of virtualization to create highly flexible IT environments. ASUS, a global leader in high-performance servers, is pleased to begin offering the advantages of a virtualization solution. Virtualization lets you manage the computing resources in ways that offer more flexibility that reduces costs and improves business agility.

    ASUS Virtualization Technology Consolidates Your IT Resource

    Increase server utilization and flexibility
    Virtualization supports the pooling of computing resources that is able to centrally manage through an hub to support dynamically changing business requirements

    Reduce the Total Cost of Ownership
    Virtualizing servers for multiple functions offers a rapid return on investment (ROI) through decreased management costs and increased asset utilization. You can enhance system availability and reduce the risk of data loss and business interruption by virtualizing resources for a flexible and dynamic infrastructure

    Cut power and cooling costs
    Virtualization gives you the power to right-size the IT infrastructure through server consolidation and dynamic load balancing across a pool of servers

    Simplify management
    ASUS Virtualization provides a simplified way to manage server compute nodes, freeing you from local administrative tasks with a robust set of standard-based management capabilities.
