Taming Virtual Machine Sprawl: How to Get Your Virtualization Under Control

Overview Virtualization technology has potential to help control IT costs by letting you consolidate more applications onto fewer machines. But virtualization projects often don't deliver expected cost savings. The problem is not virtualization itself, but the lack of a management strategy that addresses costs and risks when you increase the number of applications that share each server. Learn how to develop a virtualization management strategy that minimizes business risks related to system failure, meets the multi-system needs of large-scale applications, and eases management burdens inherent in virtual machine implementations. Also learn how you can change a static data center into a dynamic, real-time IT infrastructure that allows physical and virtual resources to be repurposed to support the most critical applications without an extensive labor investment that increases operational costs.
