Overview:

Virtualization is still rapidly growing, but most companies are still in the early stages of virtualization adoption, which involves mostly workload consolidation supported by multiple VMs per physical server. And, since most organizations are in the beginning stages, they will all be in the next step of adoption very soon.

The next step of virtualization adoption usually calls for the applied use of virtualization in test and development environments associated with mission-critical databases and applications from Microsoft, Oracle and SAP - and many organizations are looking to private clouds to meet their new, converged infrastructure demands. What does this mean for your mission-critical applications?

Find out in this IDC paper. Access this resource to learn the keys and challenges of enabling mission-critical databases and applications and explore the impact of this IT transformation on your storage, availability, infrastructure and more.
