When to use virtualization

Virtualization is the perfect solution for applications that are meant for small to medium-scale usage. You want to prevent CPU utilization from exceeding 50% during peak loads. Running several servers on a single physical server will elevate the peak CPU utilization but optimize overall usage since the peaks and valleys of the virtual operating systems will cancel each other out. requirements can be met inside a Virtual environment.

Disaster recovery benefit

As an added bonus of virtualization, you get improved disaster recovery capabilities because the virtualized images can be used to instantly recover all your servers. Ask yourself what would happen now if your legacy server died. Would your business even be capable of rebuilding and reconfiguring all of your servers from scratch?
