Business Value of Virtualization: An IDC Report
Published 15th Mar 2011 | Source - | Pages - 17According to an IDC report, virtualization delivers compelling business value today, increasing by a factor of three the number of users supported per server, improving availability of servers, enabling application scalability, and reducing costs across the board. The business case is clear and the options abound.
