Not long ago the virtualization industry’s primary focus was on reducing IT costs. At the time, it was not uncommon for larger organizations to have hundreds of servers, each of which required a constant power supply and ongoing maintenance. For many, effectively managing skyrocketing IT costs became mission-critical. Server virtualization enabled organizations to dramatically reduce the number of servers required and the associated costs. As an added benefit, at a time when corporations were being held accountable for their environmental impact, server virtualization significantly reduced power consumption.
The costs of managing today's commodity servers and the networks that bind them together are increasing even as hardware and software costs continue to decline. In a typical environment, labor costs surrounding servers and networks now exceed 50 percent of the three-year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), and that percentage is ever-increasing.
Virtualization improves productivity and efficiency by performing many tasks automatically. Files, images, programs, and folders can be centrally managed from a single physical site and storage media such as hard drives and tape drives can be easily added or reassigned.
