Capacity management is the top operational concernForrester study commissioned on behalf of CA, 257 virtualization decision makers, December 2009
Virtual Server Sprawl
• Increased Infrastructure costs
• Increased management • Server software license
costs• Power costs
• Reducing the x86 consolidation ratio from 10:1 to 8.3:1 will cost $256k over 3 years for every 100 servers virtualized– VMware
Fundamentally, we believe virtualization sprawl can be a much bigger problem than physical sprawl
– Thomas Bittman, Gartner Analyst
