Virtualization has become a common solution to the problem of server sprawl. By using this technology to consolidate servers, many companies are using less floor space, cutting energy consumption and simplifying management. And the benefits extend beyond the efficiencies of physical consolidation--contributing to easier, faster server provisioning, more comprehensive business continuity and more flexible resource allocation. But IT must translate these technological advantages into concrete improvements for the business: strong return on investment (ROI) and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). CDW can help you make the business case for server virtualization. Focus on four areas in which virtualization can provide clear benefits: consolidation, provisioning, business continuity and resource allocation. Then show decision-makers the potential impact of your current measures on the TCO in each of those four areas.
