A big recommendation to manage Aircarft Solutions firewall and hardware architecture configuration issue would be to adopt virtualization. “Virtualization is the most effective way to reduce IT expenses while improving efficiency and agility. » Virtualization is the method of creating a virtual computer system instead of obtaining physical computer hardware. Due to the rapid changes and developments in the IT world, it is suggested that AS gradually adopts virtualization of its systems. The advantages of virtualization are diverse. By adopting virtualization, AS will be able to separate its physical layer from virtual machines. This will ensure that the damage and threats due to malicious attacks are minimal. Adopting virtualization will help AS ensure that its data is secure and backed up and that AS takes disaster recovery precautions. The virtual machine can monitor, detect, and even shut down the host in the event of a threat or security violation, which will then allow another virtual machine to operate within security settings. These steps and procedures mean that, without affecting the entire network, IT will have less downtime to troubleshoot and address the issue on affected machines. Which then means improved productivity thanks to fewer physical assets and less equipment maintenance. The table shows the comparison before and after the adoption of virtualization of its IT systems at AS.
