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.

As today’s IT organizations face the critical challenges of continued data growth and limited data center energy resources, they are turning to more energy-efficient devices to help them reduce their power usage and overall storage costs. As all modern enterprises depend on information technology, IT organizations must be able to align energy consumption with energy availability and simultaneously accommodate data growth as part of a viable IT strategy. Using today’s technology, organizations can build sophisticated data centers in a cost-effective manner. However, even a generous budget cannot guarantee that they will have the necessary energy resources to power it in an economical manner.
