What is a virtual infrastructure?

Virtual infrastructure is a software-driven server environment. Businesses receive the same power and resources (i.e., storage, CPU space, memory, etc.) of a physical hosting environment without the maintenance and upkeep since virtual infrastructure is primarily delivered via a cloud environment. 

IT teams can allocate and deploy these resources much faster than their physical counterparts, allowing organizations to quickly meet the growing demands of the modern business environment.
