With perceived cost barriers for entry into virtualization technology rapidly dropping, small businesses are seizing the opportunity to reduce hardware and maintenance costs and further centralize company data protection. In a recent poll of top NovaStor Authorized and Certified Partners, there’s a burgeoning public acceptance of virtualization, with requests for server consolidation solutions steadily on the rise. Today, strengthened regulations regarding the protection of customer data and heightened awareness surrounding data protection has prompted clients to seek out straightforward solutions that protect both physical and virtual environments.
