So What is Virtualization?
Virtualization Defined
Virtualization ● virt·tual·iz-a-tion ● [vur-choo-uhl-iz-ey-shuhn]
–noun
Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as an operating system, a server, a storage device or network resources.

Virtualization
What’s Driving Virtualization ?
Today’s IT – Complex, Inefficient, Inflexible
Cause
• Overwhelming complexity
• Reliance on brittle infrastructure
Effect
• >70% of IT budgets just “maintaining” status quo
• <30% of IT budgets goes to innovation and competitive advantage
Where IT Energy Is Spent
42%Infrastructure Maintenance
30%Application
Maintenance
23%Application Investment
5%Infrastructure Investment
Business Agility Depends on IT Agility
What Is Driving Virtualization
Trend #1: Hardware Is Underutilized
Today’s Hardware is more than 100,000 x more powerful than
just 10 short years ago!
What Is Driving Virtualization
Trend #2: Data Centers are out of Space
A recent study by the Enterprise Strategy Group predicted that governments and
corporations will store over 25
exabytes of data by the year 2010.
What Is Driving Virtualization
Trend #3: Energy Costs Are Escalating
Energy Consumption and Cost should not be overlooked as a driving force for
virtualization.
What Is Driving Virtualization
Trend #4: System Administrative Costs Are Rising
As Hardware expands in an environment it needs to be maintained and the time
restraints on IT staffs are being stressed to the limits.
Obviously something isn’t working very well…
…so what should we do?

Making the Business Case for Virtualization
Consolidation - One-time event that moves existing applications onto a fewer number of servers
Containment - An ongoing effort to virtualize new applications and manage growth of existing ones
Availability – Introducing virtualization to increase application availability and data recoverability
