white paper examines how Microsoft customers are using virtualization technology to simplify their IT infrastructure and IT processes and save money. It discusses the savings inherent in using virtualization to consolidate servers and accelerate desktops. By virtualizing servers, organizations can better manage the data center. Server consolidation can cut costs by decreasing the amount of physical servers needed.

Businesses have never been under more pressure to reduce costs...

white paper highlights a number of specific examples of how virtualization provides measurable ROI and other benefits, looks at the challenges for data center management that virtualization introduces, and explains why most current approaches to virtual system management fall short. Virtualization by definition is a technology that creates abstract versions of physical environments. As a result creating a virtual environment can be both disruptive and complicated if not managed...
