VIRTUALIZATION AND CLOUD Although virtualization is now a mainstream IT strategy, many enterprises have yet to begin to realize its benefits of scalability, security and manageability. Cloud computing/virtualization services help customers reduce costs, increase security and reduce IT complexity in areas such as: Server Consolidation and Containment Bringing unmanageable server sprawl under control by using virtualization to run multiple workloads on fewer servers and to reduce future needs for physical servers. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Reducing downtime by making high availability and disaster recovery solutions more cost-effective, simpler, and more reliable Desktop Manageability & Security Improving manageability and security of enterprise desktops to lower cost, reduce risk, and improve flexibility of desktop infrastructure. Development & Test Optimization Transforming the software lifecycle by using virtualization to reduce costs, increase productivity, and improve quality in development and test.
