In this new era, the status quo is no longer an option. In response to these business requirements, many IT organizations have launched server virtualization and cloud computing projects to achieve improved service delivery and increased IT agility. However, for some organizations, ambitious virtualization, cloud, and infrastructure initiatives have led to lengthy projects, increased management complexity, and higher operational costs.
