IT managers and executives have enthusiastically embraced server virtualization because it greatly increases server utilization, reduces capital costs and cuts operating expenses. And a growing number of IT executives are looking beyond server consolidation to use virtualization for simpler, more efficient disaster recovery and application availability.

Adding cost and complexity can erode the cost savings and efficiency benefits of server virtualization.
