About Virtualization

The goal of virtualization is to move from managing individual datacenter components to managing pools of resources. Successful server virtualization can lead to improved server utilization and more efficient use of server assets. Virtualization reduces costs through the sharing of hardware, infrastructure, and administration. Server virtualization is also important for successful server consolidation projects that maintain the isolation of separate systems.
