Cost savings and increased server utilization have long been the promise of virtualization. While most organizations initially embraced virtualization for its benefits in saving money and improving IT productivity, business agility and server consolidation, research shows that organizations that lack adequate human and technical resources are experiencing a phenomenon known as "virtualization stall" (or VM stall), which limits their utilization of virtualization to approximately 30% of their servers. By breaking through the virtualization stall barrier, companies can realize the benefits a full-scale virtual environment has to offer.

In this white paper, you will understand the technical and management challenges that have created VM stall, and how combining the right human and technical resources can help businesses accelerate the value and penetration of virtualized IT.
