Companies have rapidly adopted server virtualization over the past few years, but there are big differences in their use of the technology. Most companies are able to reduce server hardware spending, but many don't realize an ongoing reduction in management costs. Furthermore, not everyone sees the same level of savings on hardware.

These companies run at least five times more virtual machines per physical host than other companies and use streamlined IT processes.
