Abstract
This IDC study focuses on the potential impact that x86
server virtualization is having on business continuity (BC) practices in
datacenters. This study provides detailed analysis of the shift from
traditional datacenter protection to BC plans in virtualized server environments.
Furthermore, it examines the issues and potential benefits that organizations
should consider in formulating a virtualized roadmap.
"Virtualization has changed the
way IT managers think about server deployment and energy efficiency
and IDC believes that business continuity will be similarly affected,"
said Nathaniel Martinez, program director with IDC European System Infrastructure
solutions.
