Why We Virtualize “Why is virtualization such a big deal? A lot of people understand, and they think it's about saving money, it's about saving power, it's about green IT, it's about space, and that's certainly true. But in our perspective, it's much, much bigger than that, and people are just now beginning to understand that. We think that there's a major transformation taking place in IT. This major transformation that's been taking place for years is starting to accelerate, and we believe that virtualization is a major enabler and catalyst of that transition that's taking place.” - Tom Bittman, Gartner VP and Chief of Research of Infrastructure and Operations, at Microsoft’s Virtualization Launch Event

“Maxol runs Exchange Server 2007, SQL Server 2005, Terminal Services, and file and print servers as key workloads in its virtual environment. Going forward, nearly every business application at Maxol will be a candidate for virtualization.” - Maxol Case Study Full support for key server applications in a virtualized environment Server workload licensing to enable virtualization mobility Management of the workloads is key, not just the virtual machine “We’ve seen first-hand that we can virtualize everything from file, print, and web servers to database servers running SQL Server and Oracle, and actually have the virtual machine run *faster* than what it ran on our original physical box.” - Janssen Jones, Indiana University + Line of Business Applications
