Virtualization: Savings Are Not Guaranteed

Virtualization is one of the most significant hot-button topics in enterprise today. Linux server virtualization has allowed enterprises to leverage resources more efficiently. It also is giving CIOs and IT managers a tool to address growing corporate concerns over environmental issues and rising energy costs. Running virtualized servers cuts down on the number of physical servers a company needs. It also can reduce the idle time hardware servers waste with as much as 70 percent of server performance going unused.
