These services can enable you to increase productivity and lower your total cost of ownership (TCO) through increased hardware utilisation resulting from partitioning. Increased utilisation is necessary when software does not scale well across large numbers of processors. Plus, having more productive servers can free up your IT staff to focus on other business-critical activities.
