Hi pedz,
Well as per my understanding you want to know why to choose for "Virtualisation" ?
As per my knowledge and understanding IBM has brought virtualisation concept to help out companies or bussiness to cut their cost in resource.
I mean instead of 5-7 IBM or any other machines with the same or different configuration , will cost them more than having single huge machine ( and then creating those 5-7 virtual machine on that physical macihine).
Bussiness will obviously go for the options where they find cost cutting, and if it is the case with machines or servers running their bussiness then instead of going for 5-6 physical servers , they can go for one single machine. Even if one virtual machine creates problem, it doesn't affect the other machine running. by the use of technologies like clusters, they can manage load balance and low downtime. Since IBM is going to put all these feature in one LPAR machine, so the bussiness willl be attracted towards them.
hope this satisifed your query. if any pls revert..
