Starting Right With Virtualization
As with any IT initiative, virtualization efforts are often spurred by related IT issues. For example, the unconstrained proliferation of servers — the so-called server sprawl — can not only eat up valuable real estate but also push electricity costs (for power and cooling) into the stratosphere. Virtualization alleviates those concerns by reducing the number of physical servers in use. Virtualization can also boost uptime, improving processes for systemwide hardware and software upgrades and keeping employees productive.
