This FOCUS report of key findings presents the highlights of an end-user survey conducted in April 2009, outlining the current state of virtualization adoption, pain points, barriers to expansion, and management requirements. 

System Center lowers the cost of delivering datacenter services through integrated, end-to-end management of physical and virtual environments, and supports the optimization of the datacenter in three primary ways. Each of these benefits, and the solutions that enable them, are discussed in this paper. 

Many organizations understand they need cost-visibility or a more formal chargeback process in order to further expand their virtual data centers. The challenge is where to begin and how to implement an automated solution. 

Managing the virtual infrastructure end-to-end is becoming more challenging as virtual environments continue to grow and more data center elements meld into the "cloud". This whitepaper will discuss the push for continued virtualization and the "cloud", and present you with questions that will help you create the best organizational strategy. 

In this session, we will review the latest advancements in protecting against disaster in virtual environments and highlight real-world customer experiences.
