Virtualization of distributed computing, of IT resources such as storage, bandwidth, and CPU cycles are all increasingly significantly in importance within enterprise IT; vrtualization can also apply to a range of system layers, including hardware-level virtualization, operating system level virtualization, and high-level language virtual machines. IDC has stated that the virtualization services market alone is going to reach $11.7 billion by 2011.
In short, Virtualization is fast becoming a key requirement for every server in the data center, enabling increased workloads in server consolidation projects, efficient software development and testing, resource management for dynamic data centers, application re-hosting and compatibility, and high-availability partitions.
