How to virtualize your servers Listen to podcast

Many organizations are looking to virtualization as a way of speeding innovation and curbing server sprawl. And while many companies have successfully used virtualization to dramatically increase server utilization rates—and at the same time reducing the costs of management, energy and cooling—to improve operational efficiency and manageability, these results aren't always guaranteed.

IBM Server Optimization and Integration Services – VMware server virtualization provides a proven and structured approach to x86 server virtualization that is designed to help you avoid complications caused by the incompatibility and unsuitability of your existing infrastructure.
