Virtualization: Out With the Old Problems, In With the New


Virtualization projects can help organizations improve key business metrics, but with these benefits also come risks that these projects could cause issues with end-user experience, visibility into application performance , and bandwidth utilization.
While performance issues can impact business metrics, more than 20 percent of organizations surveyed for Aberdeen Group's December study, "Virtual Vigilance: Managing Application Performance in Virtual Environments," experienced significant improvements in the performance of business-critical applications after conducting virtualization projects.
"The potential benefits from virtualizing an enterprise infrastructure go beyond cost savings and improved flexibility," said Bojan Simic, research analyst, Network and Application Performance at Aberdeen Group. "Benefits could also include business goals such as responsiveness to customers' needs, employee productivity, and the creation of new business opportunities."
