Virtualization Server Refresh

Server refresh time is a good time to deploy a virtualization solution because you have already committed money for the refresh.

Investing in virtualization technology today will likely cost more than a simple server refresh but you will soon begin to enjoy significant return on the investment in the form of reduced operational expense and future capital expense. That is one reason the ROI for a virtualization solution is calculated over a four to five year period.

Reduced operational expense will occur because you will be able to reduce the quantity of physical servers in your datacenter by a significant amount reducing energy consumption for servers and cooling.
