The expansion in the range of applications and server environments that companies are deploying will have a significant effect on how they set up their datacenters (including server and storage systems). Organizations are now dealing with rapid data growth and the use of virtualized servers to boost IT asset utilization, improve application availability, and reduce administrative burdens.

This IDC White Paper takes a specific look at the business value associated with the movement from a nonvirtualized server infrastructure to a server infrastructure where hypervisor technology is an integral component of the overall system architecture. It then examines how the implementation of a virtualized networked storage environment ensures that the business can fully achieve the benefits of a virtualized server environment.
