Virtualisation: where are my savings?

Waste not, want not


Three years ago you listened to vendors telling you how much we would all save from virtualisation. It seemed so plausible, but for most of us the savings never arrived. Why not? And what can we do about it?

Good news: if you’re using VMware for virtualisation and Windows Server 2012, someone has finally worked out how to make those savings - and the results so far show that you could be saving up to 40 per cent of your virtualisation budget. Better news: they were in the studio with us. William McLeod from NVT and Colin Wright from virtualisation and management software supplier Embotics showed demonstrated where these savings come from - and how you can save too.

Dale Vile from Freeform Dynamics and Tim Phillips from the Reg, were at there to ensure they didn’t fiddle the numbers.
