infrastructure management

Overview Virtualization. This one word speaks volumes and is first on the minds and the agendas of most IT professionals today - and it has to be. For the ever increasing service and resource demands placed on IT departments by users to remain manageable - or to become manageable - the abstraction that virtualization technologies provide is required. Virtualization technologies make complex systems manageable and virtualization inherently adds strong deployment and re-deployment flexibilities to data center operations. IT organizations are well aware of the tremendous benefits to be realized in deploying server virtualization technology. According to InfoWorld, over 74% of IT organizations rated server virtualization as either critical or highly important technology.
