Making virtualization simple, predictable and cost-effective

BANGALORE, INDIA: The IT world is becoming increasingly virtualized. A recent Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) survey revealed that one-third of respondents had already virtualized more than half of their x86 servers. But that percentage is expected to increase signifi cantly over the next few years.

Analysts and experts all agree that almost all new IT workloads are now being deployed in virtual environments. Many enterprises started their virtualization journey by focusing on their tier 2 and 3 applications. Impressed with

the results of their fi rst initiatives, these organizations have been actively extending virtualization to include their key tier 1 applications and end-user desktops, taking advantage of the unmatched fl exibility, agility, scalability, and availability that virtualization can bring to their business-critical systems.
