Excerpt:

Traditional approaches to infrastructure operations management are incapable of keeping up with highly dynamic virtual environments. ESG research indicates that the vast majority of organizations have seen an impact on their management tools and processes as a result of deploying server virtualization. Organizations clearly need to place as much emphasis on people and process as they do on technology in order to extract the full benefits of server virtualization initiatives. Virtualization has a significant impact on how servers, storage, and networks are managed-IT employees must be trained to use the technology effectively.

The mere fact that virtualization deployments tend to expand does not mean that all deployments are alike. While the majority are average or beginning implementations, some are more mature with a large percentage of x86 workloads virtualized and a large percentage of production virtual machines (VMs). Recent ESG research indicates significant differences in benefits based on the maturity of the implementation; organizations with more mature virtualization deployments are experiencing much greater value than the basic implementations. For example, cost reduction and better server resource optimization and utilization are common to most deployments, while benefits such as improving application time to market/value and compliance/audit capabilities remain elusive to most.
