Applications for Virtualized Infrastructure
Companies can integrate virtualized infrastructure to streamline their security systems, protecting everything from their physical buildings to the digital landscapes employees use daily. Two common ways virtualized infrastructure gets applied in everyday scenarios include:
Building Automation Systems
Many businesses that use virtualized infrastructure can maximize their hardware to make it work for their security systems. Companies can implement Internet of Things (IoT) technology to connect various devices throughout the building, putting all devices using IoT on one central system to make them easier to manage and access. Virtualized infrastructure can appear as IoT-integrated automated building systems because the devices use a main network to control diverse smart applications that may require connection to a network.
Building automation systems boosts efficiency for IT operations because administrators in charge of the virtual infrastructure can scale processes and optimize resource utilization to benefit their systems better. IoT devices in automated building systems include:
- Heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system
- Elevators
- Lighting
- Access
