Now you may say, “Yes, Microsoft is late, but I’m ok waiting.” But
waiting costs your company real dollars. Look at this simple example:
By using VMware VMotion for planned server maintenance in a 150-VM environment you can save almost $60,000 a year
in operational costs. If we scaled to a 1000-VM environment, it results
in almost $400,000 of cost savings a year. If you use VMotion for more
than planned server maintenance, and use it for dynamic load balancing,
distributed power management, etc, you’ll save even more!
