How to use virtualization to improve the plight of manufacturing

industrial mergers and acquisitions, globalisation, shrinking profits, more and more government rules and complex supply chains that need to improve collaboration ..., the manufacturing industry is changing dramatically in a step-by-step way. These changes have led manufacturers to face more challenging market trends, as follows

1. Budget Very limited

2. Internal and external computing environments increasingly complex

3. Support more mature remote and mobile users

4. Pressure to deliver consistent, high-quality IT services

5. Corresponding requirements for improved availability and reliability

6. Stressed security needs

7. Branch Office transformation/server consolidation

8. Complex business issues

The challenge of manufacturing industry to play it role

In the face of huge market pressures, manufacturing companies are struggling to reduce their costs in managing, operating, supporting applications and systems. They are also increasingly concerned with optimal scalability, security, and performance, while maintaining a small change in their hardware acquisition costs. The more mature departments face a series of special problems, includes managing geographically dispersed employees and operations, and supporting heterogeneous IT systems by building flexible supply chains that leverage the role of the web to enhance collaboration with partners and vendors, and reduce operational costs resulting from the deployment of expected IT services and improve productivity by providing the ability to access critical applications and information anywhere. More importantly, manage customer call centers and customer Relationship management (CRM) programs to address the additional challenges of delivering more value to customers.

Efficient and effective deployment of information technology (IT) addresses some serious business challenges. Unfortunately, IT itself is often a hindrance to preparing for a business problem, especially when it comes to managing a distributed computing environment. The paradox for manufacturers is that the more technology you use to solve business problems, the more complex IT environments will become. This cycle creates business problems that it itself needs to address. As many manufacturers have found, a strategic choice of technology can reduce it complexity without increasing its complexity. In particular, software with virtual application access and processing capabilities solves some of the major difficulties faced by manufacturers.
