Analyst Perspectives
“On average, respondents have virtualized 24% of their servers today and plan to have 48% virtualized in two years.”
“Virtualization of the PC has even more potential than server virtualization… it is going to be much bigger... This will help change the paradigm of desktop computer management in organizations.”

What are analysts saying?
“Consolidation, virtualization, and provisioning are the three hottest trends in servers today. If you haven’t consolidated yet… if you haven’t virtualized your computing resources… and if you haven’t learned how to provision your systems and storage—you’re needlessly wasting your precious operating budget!”
—Joe Clabby, Clabby Analytics

VirtualizationAdoption

So… What is Virtualization?
Virtualization is a technique for abstracting the physical characteristics of computing resources from the way other systems, applications, or end users
interact with those resources.

Virtualization saves $, but can expose vulnerabilities
Holistic management is the key to administration
MSFT desktop to datacenter strategy is the smart bet
Drive cost out of IT using Virtualization
Further enables IT as a service
