As the economy starts to show signs that it is stabilizing, IT departments can start looking at making investments they may have been putting off for the last few years. Modern datacenters need to support new holistic requirements with infrastructure convergence, optimization and automation, increasing deployment of datacenter solutions in appliance form factors, and alternative ways to conserve energy while increasing IT capabilities and cutting costs. Virtualization stands out as the technology which makes it possible to manage the pace of infrastructure change, providing increased control over user experience, better security and business continuity as well as improving software deployment and update.
