With increased global competition and irresolute economies many CIOs are faced with the added pressure to do more on decreased finances and resources while keeping the momentum at lightning speed. As of late, many CIOs are stepping up their nimbleness by responding to the current market with virtualization. Like most technologies, the success has been speckled. Andi Mann, Research Director at Enterprise Management Associates states, "The promise of unprecedented reaction time without additional hardware expense is undeniably strong. You can reuse what you have with virtualization and can be set up in a manner of minutes to move to a new project."

Obvious savings can be found in hardware and time cost, plus the added benefit of lowering power expenses; one can reduce the demand for power from 10 machines down to one by stacking numerous virtual servers. However, research findings caution against jumping on the bandwagon of virtualization too readily. Many are overwhelmed by the buzz around virtualization and aren't taking steps to make sure basic management controls are in place. Read the remaining study* to find out your business is stacking up and determine whether your virtual machine architecture is up to snuff.
