Why is virtualization such a big deal? A lot of people understand, and they think it's about saving
money, it's about saving power, it's about green IT, it's about space, and that's certainly true. But
in our perspective, it's much, much bigger than that, and people are just now beginning to
understand that. We think that there's a major transformation taking place in IT. This major
transformation that's been taking place for years is starting to accelerate, and we believe that
virtualization is a major enabler and catalyst of that transition that's taking place.
Tom Bittman, Gartner VP and Chief of Research of Infrastructure and Operations,
at Microsofts Virtualization Launch Event
