Virtualization Overview:

Virtualization is not just for the Fortune 500 anymore. Many organizations are rapidly adopting virtualization and achieving significant benefits in a number of areas. Specifically, improvements in:

• Time spent on routine IT administrative tasks
• Backup and data protection
• Application availability
• Business continuity preparedness
• Less Power Consumption
• Company profitability and growth rate

Beyond the potentially dramatic cost savings, virtualization can greatly enhance an organization's business agility. Companies that employ clustering, partitioning, workload administration and other virtualization techniques to configure groups of servers into reusable pools of resources are better positioned to respond to the changing demands their business places on those resources.
