In Fact calculations getting much more complex with virtualization.
But not only this. Alone the Planning of a good virtualizated Service is getting more komplex more Services you have.

And there is ONE Point on the other Hand you should not forget.
Without Virtualization you have to install the new System – means also a cleanup. A Big One.

With Virtualization we will have the Situation of System full of Garbage because many many mnay lazy Admins will say hey i just have to move my Machine so i just make Update but no reinstall.

So belive it or not one Time or another youll have to reinstall it anyway. It Really helps belive it or not.

And by the way Virtualization is still not 100% fully Useable in all Enviroments. If youve the Opotuninty to build a new Enviroment than fine you can build it around but if you have to press Virtualization into the existing one its maybe getting into an dead end.

I know ife to wait at least another 1,5 years (maybe longer) and cannot use it yet on most of our Services.
And still i cannot understand the Hype.. but wait oh yes. Guess the industry barly need money thats why oh i understand lol

At least, if that\'s your business model - to sell hosting space. </p> And here, I thought that underutilized systems were a failure of marketing, not a failure of IT planning.
