Tags:
server consolidation

Overview The business case for virtualization is based on an industry-wide focus on server consolidation, a need for enhanced flexibility and responsiveness of IT assets, and high availability of critical infrastructure applications.

Today's proprietary virtualization products are largely deployed in test and development and for consolidation of non-performance critical production workloads, but are rarely if ever used for business-critical roles. Mainly because the virtualization market place until now has lacked open solutions, offered limited hardware vendor support and operating system vendor support, and lacked the tools to enable effective virtual servers.
