  2. Benefits of Virtualization • Efficiency and cost reduction • Increases the utilization of servers and storage • Decreases costs • Simplification of management and maintenance • Reduces planned downtimes • Increases provisioning speed • Easy cross-platform migration • Improve availability and disaster recovery • Reduces footprint at DR sites • Recovery can be done on dissimilar hardware

  3. Risks Associated with Virtualization • Requirement of shared storage • Virtual servers and virtual desktops must have common access to storage • Require shared storage to transfer workloads between physical servers • Putting all your eggs in one (virtual) basket • Disruptions are no longer isolated to just one physical server • Any slowdown or failure in a centralized SAN can ripple throughout the network • Unforeseen project costs • Virtualization projects require a significant upfront investment • These costs stem from performance requirements of centralized operations

  4. What to look for… • Look for a solution that has been specifically designed for SMBs • Avoid making your decision based on financial information alone • Use a fully integrated and scalable solution • Look for the ability to remove shared storage-related dependencies • Consider “high-availability” as a minimum requirement when implementing virtualization • Find virtualization solutions that help simplify your environment
