Most enterprises that have deployed virtualization have realized substantial benefits including more agile server consolidation, provisioning, recovery from server failure, or providing disaster recovery.

However, most large enterprises are only 30% virtualized, with virtualization occurring only on the application systems that are under the direct control of IT Operations. IT needs to put tools in place that can measure the performance of the virtual environment and provide verifiable service-level data to the owners of key applications. The management tools selected to support virtualization is essential to the ability of IT to grow the virtual environment without increasing the staff required to manage all of the new physical host servers and their guest VMs.
