This way there is a number of benefits like savings on the investment on machines, reduction in the monthly consumption, etc. With the use of a virtualized datacenter, the major space constraint in many organizations can be tackled. Some of the other benefits of datacenter virtualization include
* There is an improvement in asset utilization
* With datacenter virtualization, there is a reduction in the cost and complexity of managing both servers and storage
