Gartner Predicts Virtualisation To Snowball

Software virtualisation is likely to continue apace this year, as firms look to reduce costs and improve resource utilisation in their IT support environments, according to new figures from analyst firm Gartner.

Gartner analyst Alan Dayley explained that the main drivers for businesses are to cut costs, better utilise assets, and reduce management time and complexity.



Server virtualisation management technology, in particular, is designed to reduce total cost of ownership, reduce associated availability risk, and improve quality of IT service.
