Virtualization can:
• Reduce IT management requirements and costs
• Reduce hardware requirements and costs
• Increase IT agility and availability of IT services
What are the Benefits of Virtualization?
Virtualization isn’t just about the immediate savings in
hardware, power and cooling, and associated ownership costs.
Virtualization means:
• Fewer servers to maintain
• Faster resource provisioning and workload balancing
• Faster development cycles
• More focus on innovation instead of constant maintenance.
Reduce IT complexity
Now it’s more important than ever to reduce IT costs and
complexity. Save money by simplifying your IT environment
through physical server virtualization and single console
management. Microsoft® virtualization and management solutions

investments by consolidating multiple server roles as separate
virtual machines running on a single physical machine, and
efficiently running multiple different operating
systems—Windows®, Linux, and others—in parallel. By
simplifying complex management tasks, Microsoft virtualization
technology increases the efficiency of your staff, allowing
them to focus on driving additional value for your business
while protecting your IT investments.

solutions, you can help increase the security of your IT
environment by automatically or manually deploying updates for
Windows®, hardware updates, third-party updates, drivers, and
non-Microsoft software applications. Prevent attacks from
malicious and unwanted software that can lead to a corrupted
system, loss of data, and identity theft. With enhanced security
