VIRTUAL MACHINES

MICHAEL VIZARD writes

Over the past several years two distinct management cultures have grown up inside the IT organization. The first is the traditional IT organization’s team of people dedicated to the managing on the physical infrastructure. The second group is a raft of highly trained IT professionals focused on virtual machines.

At this point a majority of IT managers are unaware of the potential benefits of virtualization. I have to imagine that it is still quite difficult to make the case, let alone effectively deploy and integrate virtualization inside most business environment.
