So, welcome to the virtualization world.....

If so, why virtualization at all?

There are many benefits to consolidating the number of servers in your environment by taking advantage of the many different server virtualization products on the market. These include:

1. Lower number of physical servers - you can reduce hardware maintenance costs because of a lower number of physical servers.

2. By implementing a server consolidation strategy, you can increase the space utilization efficiency in your data center.

3. By having each application within its own "virtual server" you can prevent one application from impacting another application when upgrades or changes are made.

4. You can develop a standard virtual server build that can be easily duplicated which will speed up server deployment.

5. You can deploy multiple operating system technologies on a single hardware platform (i.e. Windows Server 2003, Linux, Windows Server 2008, etc).

By taking advantage of server virtualization you can easily improve the efficiency of your data enter, as well as lower your cost of ownership.
