Business Benefits of Virtualization
Virtualization is one of the hottest technologies to come along during the past 20 years. It’s a growing trend that promise to more than double in five years, from $5.5 billion in 2006 to $11.7 billion in 2011.
Large and medium size organizations are jumping on the bandwagon eagerly and here’s why:
- Virtualization reduces hardware and operating costs by as much as 50 percent
- Virtualization reduces the time it takes to set up new servers by as much as 70 percent because deployment is faster and easier with preconfigured virtual environments
- Virtualization gives you increased utilization of your server, so that you have the flexibility to support requirements for testing, support, and running special applications
- Virtualization reduces hardware requirements by a 10 to one or better ratio
- Virtualization can increase the ratio of servers per administrator from 50:1 to 150:1
- Virtualization can decrease server recovery time from weeks to days or hours
