Many organizations are embracing consolidation and virtualization technologies and are actively moving toward large-scale implementations.  Consolidation and Virtualization combines software and hardware to support multiple applications and operating systems running on a single server, while isolating one workload from another.  As a result, server utilization levels are increased, and the number of servers needed to support applications is reduced.

The following are potential ROI advantages from server consolidation and virtualization:

• Scaling Cost Effectively - Fewer servers, software licenses, server locations and simplified server administration reduces overall IT costs.
• Lower Utility Cost - Improve power and cooling utilization.
• Simplified Operations - Increased product reliability and performance enables higher skilled resources to focus on higher value tasks.
• Improved Utilization and Uptime - IT standardization helps administrators to better manage their server environment while ensuring high availability and security.
• Decreases Space Requirements - Dramatically decrease the space requirements for your infrstructure.
