Take a look at the ROI charts we have included, and you will see just how meaningful virtualization can be to an organization. Our Partner’s Forum focuses on VMware and delves into their innovative virtualization solutions, while our Service Spotlight article walks through the CDI approach to implementing server virtualization and highlights the value we can add as a certified VBlock partner.

Brought to you in partnership with:
Put a group of CTOs in a room together and get them talking and you’ll soon pick up on a recurring theme: Server Virtualization. In our business we work with clients across all industries who are either performing or considering server virtualization as a key step towards achieving meaningful cost reductions in IT spending. Couple the right server virtualization products such as VMware with powerful storage management solutions such as Navisphere Manager from EMC and your IT department will dramatically improve its capabilities and operate more efficiently.
Why Server Virtualization?
The answers are compelling for both your organization's bottom line and the environment: immediate and measurable improvements in efficiency, dramatically lower power and cooling costs, reduced floor space consumption, and most importantly, a positive Return on Investment (ROI).
Consider These Facts:
- For every dollar spent on hardware, fifty cents is spent on power and cooling.1
- The average data center is only 52% utilized and 1/3 of centers are approaching maximum floor space capacity.2
- The average rack is only 56% utilized and 1/3 of data centers are approaching maximum rack space density.3
- Server and Storage consumes 50% of power; AC consumes 34% of power.4
