Virtualization is a key enabling technology that can be leveraged to achieve business benefits. Server Virtualization technology enables customers to run multiple operating systems concurrently on a single physical server, where each of the operating systems runs as a self-contained computer.

IT organizations today are under incredible pressure to deliver more value to their business customers — and typically with little or no increase in budgets. Optimizing the use of physical IT assets is becoming imperative as data centers reach their capacity for power and space. Microsoft recognizes that the problem intensifies for companies whose servers run at very low utilization. Many of these challenges, shared between server administrators and developers, can be addressed with the help of Microsoft's virtualization solutions.
