Virtualization technology brings numerous benefits to enterprise IT organizations. But there are challenges as well, including increased demand for a reliable, resilient data center network. It’s crucial for IT leaders to take the
network into account as they create the business case for data-center virtualization. That case is built on benefits such as reduced capital and operating expenses because organizations need fewer physical servers, making the server infrastructure less costly and easier to manage. With fewer machines, companies also have reduced power, cooling and data-center footprint requirements while improving security. Virtualization also improves the availability of applications and services, as enterprises can more easily recover virtual machines (VMs) from failure.

VMware virtualization software has been adopted by over 20,000 enterprise IT organizations worldwide. Contain server sprawl by running software applications in virtual machines on fewer, highly scalable, reliable enterprise-class servers. Consolidating underutilized servers lowers capital costs by reducing the need to buy additional hardware for new projects, and removing servers from the data center enables a proportional reduction in operational costs for power, cooling and floor space. This paper clarifies how adopting VMware infrastructure as a fundamental IT strategy helps organizations achieve their cost- and space-saving goals.
