Virtualization allows you to easily provision and grow servers, as well as run more workloads on fewer servers. Essentially, it’s “do more with less.” Virtualization does enable IT to run more workloads on fewer servers, but it has become too easy to provision new virtual machines (VMs), and too hard to manage them. This is causing customers to lose track of VMs that are no longer being used, and consequently, the resources they are wasting.
In addition to wasted resources, some organizations have discovered that as they deploy more and more VMs, their virtualized environments become more difficult to manage, their application performance and availability decreases, and their IT cost increases.
