Intel says "Virtualize now!"



Well I said that too. Kirti Devi@Intel says:

Business advantage: Virtualization allows IT to deploy applications flexibly to meet demand. This ability to provision servers to meet business demands will enable IT to save time, costs and also act as a competitive advantage.

Virtualization is one of the key technologies which will enable businesses to gain that advantage in the market.

The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
