ERP solutions carry the promise of huge returns through automation of an organization's core business processes. Unfortunately, ERP projects have become notorious for high failure rates, delays, and budget overruns. Given the significant share of IT resources that ERP investments command, this reality has translated into overall IT inagility and inefficiency. Data virtualization presents an opportunity to reverse this trend by eliminating the huge cost and labor inefficiencies that exist within any ERP application lifecycle.

Virtualization technology brings numerous benefits to enterprise IT organizations. But there are challenges as well, including increased demand for a reliable, resilient data center network. It’s crucial for IT leaders to take the
network into account as they create the business case for data-center virtualization. That case is built on benefits such as reduced capital and operating expenses because organizations need fewer physical servers, making the server infrastructure less costly and easier to manage. With fewer machines, companies also have reduced power, cooling and data-center footprint requirements while improving security. Virtualization also improves the availability of applications and services, as enterprises can more easily recover virtual machines (VMs) from failure.
