Rapid ROI from virtualisation, says Gartner
29 Apr 2008
Companies can expect to see a speedy return on investment (ROI) after switching to a virtualised network infrastructure, industry analyst Gartner claims.
However, the research firm notes that the most frequently asked question among those considering adopting virtualisation is the issue of how to prepare for making the transition.
Gartner recommends making the consolidation of existing networks a priority, followed by a second phase in which the quality of services offered over the network is elevated.
By adopting best principles, the firm adds that those putting virtualised servers in place should be able to achieve profitability within six months of making the move.
"Organisations deploying at least 50 virtual machines per year will be able to build a business case with rapid ROI now," comments vice-president and research director at Gartner John Enck.
Gartner recently identified virtualisation as being likely to have the single greatest impact on operations and infrastructure until at least 2012..
