Virtualization
Virtualization helps save money. The more extensively you implement virtualization the more savings you can realize across your IT infrastructure. The most common way to help reduce costs is by virtualizing hardware and consolidating servers. This lowers equipment, electrical and space costs. On the desktop side, you can use presentation and application virtualization to help save money on deploying and supporting new and legacy applications, and on migrating to new operating systems. And by implementing a comprehensive management strategy, you can dramatically cut the costs of managing both virtual and physical assets.
