Virtualization lets companies get more value out of their information technology investments by letting them divide their physical infrastructure in ways that let people, applications and other devices use them seamlessly as though they were a single resource.

Virtualization can encompass many system resources throughout the infrastructure:

• Server virtualization helps consolidate physical servers to provide greater management and administration of server resources.
• Storage virtualization focuses on creating a pool of virtualized storage resources, easily managed and allocated depending on short- and long-term requirements.

Organizations can gain many benefits from virtualization:

• Consolidation of resources drives improved utilization.
• A reduction of servers and storage hardware leads to savings in decreased power and cooling requirements.
• Improved manageability offers IT administrators greater flexibility and reduces time spent on provisioning, configuration, monitoring, and maintenance.
• Improved availability and business continuity helps organizations recover from small- and large-scale disasters and reduce planned downtime outages.
