As organizations struggle to keep track of their servers and deal with rising energy costs within the data center, more and more have embraced virtualization as the solution and are actively moving toward large-scale implementations. Without consideration for process and manageability, aggressive adoption has the potential to limit many of the benefits possible through virtualization.
Accurately determining the opportunities for virtualization as part of a complete consolidation strategy can be achieved with the right approach - and help organizations achieve large scale improvements in the efficiency and cost profile of their IT environments. This necessitates careful evaluation of a huge set of inter-related business constraints, technology constraints and workload.
