Virtualization is important because it allows multiple virtual machines, with heterogeneous operating systems (e.g., Windows 2003 Server and Linux) and applications to run in isolation, side-by-side on the same physical machine. PostVer 0

Among the many benefits you can realize are:

<em>Better response time</em><strong>. </strong>Virtualization can improve application performance, and the provisioning of virtual machines takes only minutes, rather than weeks. At progressed levels of implementation, self-provisioning by users is even possible.

<em>Redeployment and reduction of machines</em><em>.</em> Many companies have old x86 hardware that’s underutilized and contributes to “server sprawl.” Data center floor space can be expensive, and these extra machines add to the IT management burden. With the workload consolidation made possible by virtualization, redundant physical servers can be eliminated or repurposed, perhaps at remote sites.

<em>Improved application availability</em><strong>. </strong>When physical servers have problems, need routine maintenance, or require upgrades, the result is costly downtime. With virtual servers, applications can be readily moved between hosts to keep everyone up and running. And when problems do occur, the centralization provided by server virtualization enables easier identification of trouble spots.

<em>Lowered capital and operational costs</em>.<strong> </strong>A highly compelling reason why virtualization is being embraced by many organizations is the positive effect on the bottom line. Server virtualization allows for savings in multiple areas, such as management time, new equipment expenditures, data center floor space, and energy usage.

<em>Growth opportunities for IT staff</em>.<strong> </strong>Server virtualization allows IT staff to spend less time doing routine work and putting out fires and more time on strategic development. While some IT staff may initially question why virtualization is being adopted, most IT personnel come to view the move as an exciting challenge and a learning experience that can result in new skills.

Virtualization can increase IT agility, flexibility and scalability while creating significant cost savings. Greater workload mobility, increased performance and availability of resources, automated operations – they’re all benefits of virtualization that make IT simpler to manage and less costly to own and operate. Additional benefits include:
Reduced capital and operating costs.
Minimized or eliminated downtime.
Increased IT productivity, efficiency, agility and responsiveness.
Faster provisioning of applications and resources.
Greater business continuity and disaster recovery.
Simplified data center management.
Availability of a true Software-Defined Data Center.. PostVer 0
