In his recent Blog post, "How can virtualization help when the economy falters?," Dan Kusnetzky discusses some of the ways organizations can use virtualization technologies to reduce costs, but still provide services needed to successfully operate the business.

Despite needing to overcome virtualization management issues, organizations continue to virtualize their data centers because of the promise of cost savings. What we are hearing from our customers is that without specific management tools cost savings and other efficiencies are not being realized. Part of the problem is understanding shared resource allocations and capacity, so that hardware can be better utilized and lower costs per virtual machines can be achieved. Fear of performance problems is now holding back IT staffs from fully utilizing the capabilities of expensive new servers that could potentially handle 50% or more added virtual machines.
