  Virtual Computing Infrastructures

  The Movement Toward Integrated Computing: The Foundations for Cloud

  The idea that virtualization technologies are revolutionizing the market is no longer novel. Though the conversation has shifted toward cloud computing, server virtualization remains the foundation. Driven by numerous benefits including lower capital and operational costs, greater IT efficiency and agility, and improved application performance, server virtualization is being deployed rapidly and near-universally by large midmarket and enterprise organizations. These benefits, realized by neophyte adopters, are merely the tip of the proverbial iceberg; organizations with more extensive deployments have realized improvements in application provisioning, automation of IT tasks, application availability, disaster recovery, business continuity, and application development.
