Virtualization and Storage Consolidation have become a major trend in organizations of all sizes to reduce operating costs and improve uptime. One factor that many firms do not give sufficient consideration to is the impact to the physical plant - the Power, Cooling, and Network Infrastructure - needed to support much more dense implementations. While significant cost savings still exist in a virtualized versus non-virtualized environment, this discussion will focus on the key factors that IT and facilities staff need to examine prior to starting a large-scale consolidation and virtualization project.
