Mark Thiele, Director of Business Operations for the Engineering and R&D functions at VMware, and Ken Brill, Executive Director of the Uptime Institute, discuss the often surprising benefits of virtualization. This in-depth conversation presents a virtualization primer including how it works, advantages and risks, skill sets required, and life cycle planning. Says Thiele, “Vitualization is approaching mainstream...My experience has shown that there are any number of vectors of benefit that are worth pursuing: lower cost of ownership, gaining space, improved power utilization, saving money on power, not having to build a data center sooner than you need to, increased portability... The opportunity to profit by a virtualization implementation in any infrastructure can be really enormous on the bottom line and efficiency of any organization.”
