Advantages:
-
Enterprise solutions at a low cost built on enterprise caliber servers, networking, and storage.
-
Scalability and flexibility over physical servers allowing mainteinance and upgrades to the background hardware without incuring downtime.
-
Hardware high availability due to redundant backend hardware.
-
Faster server deployment since there is no need to purchase, install or configure hardware.
