Virtualization and automation technology is a major advance in IT infrastructure management. By leveraging the capability to abstract software and data from hardware and treat hardware as a pool of resources, virtualization and automation technology:

• Reduces the complexity and cost of IT infrastructures
• Provides users with better levels of service
• Increases IT and business flexibility
