The Virtualization Opportunity Virtualization makes good business sense. Organizations recognize the opportunity to use virtualization to break down the silos that keep applications from sharing infrastructure and that contribute to chronic underutilization of IT resources.
Virtualization can help an organization simultaneously reduce costs, increase agility, and make IT more responsive to the needs of the business.
So for many organizations, the question is not, "Should we virtualize?" Instead, the question is, "How can we transition to a virtualized environment in a predictable, costeffective manner?"
PROJECT FOCUS
You are the CFO for Martello's, a food distribution organization with locations in Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. Your CIO, Jeff Greenwald, has given you a proposal for a budget of $2 million to convert the organization to a virtualized environment.
You are unfamiliar with virtualization, how it works, and the long-term goals it will satisfy for the company.
You have a meeting with Jeff tomorrow and you want to be able to discuss his proposal. Use the Internet to research virtualization to prepare for your meeting.
Once you have a solid understanding of virtualization create a report detailing your decision to grant or deny Jeff's budget proposal.
