Gartner reports:
“Server virtualization technologies will bring mainframelike workload consolidation and flexibility to reduced instruction set computer and Intel servers through 2008. In addition, re-provisioning technologies will expand the boundaries of RISC- and Intel-based workloads, enabling them to be dynamically “right-sized” to larger or smaller servers when needed. The changes and offerings will be incremental, but they will build to result in significant cost and labor savings throughout the period should become an ongoing effort and a part of the server strategy for every enterprise.”
