There are two main reasons for an organization to consider virtualization. One, the utilization (CPU and memory utilization) of its server machines is low. And two, the organization's needs for servers are changing often forcing it to purchase new servers in spite of low utilization on existing servers.
Organizations experience the temporary need for additional servers under many circumstances:
|
 |
Testing new applications before deployment |
 |
Software development |
 |
Training personnel on new systems and technologies |
|
|
| Virtualization is a solution to these business problems and it is also an elegant solution in that it comes with additional advantages such as: |
|
 |
Improvement in the ease with which servers can be configured and deployed. |
 |
Ability to move virtual servers from one physical server to other to optimize server performance and utilization. |
 |
Reduction in downtime due to the fact that virtual servers can be rapidly deployed to new machines as required, in the case of a failure. |
