whitepaper Why Isn't Server Virtualization Saving Us More? A Few Small Changes May Dramatically Increase Your Efficiency2009-05-01 VMware
  Companies have rapidly adopted server virtualization over the past few years, but there are big differences in their use of the technology. Most companies are able to reduce server hardware spending, but many don't realize an ongoing reduction in management costs. Furthermore, not everyone sees the same level of savings on hardware. If you're not saving as much money as you'd hoped from your virtualization and consolidation efforts, you can learn from the best practices of the companies there are realizing huge savings. These companies run at least five times more virtual machines per physical host than other companies and use streamlined IT processes.

whitepaper Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager for Desktops: Delivering on the Promises of Hosted Virtual Desktops2009-05-01 Red Hat
  The advent of virtualization technology on x86 platforms has allowed a radically new, cost-effective model of desktop delivery. It allows IT to centrally manage, maintain, and enforce policies on desktops in a much more effective and holistic manner than traditional desktops (individual PC s running an Operating System (OS) and applications) and legacy SBC/terminal services solutions (shared OS and applications). This enables better compliance and also leads to a significant reduction in the total cost of ownership. In addition, virtual desktops can enable powerful new functionality for end users.
