About 75 percent of all companies were running at least some application workloads as virtual instances.
​
Confidence in virtualization has grown over the last several years built more resiliency features into hypervisors. Virtual machine (VM) management platforms and companies have increasingly moved more of their workloads and more of their critical applications to virtualized environments.
​
Virtualization gives you a way to migrate quickly and balance workloads based on performance requirements. This is particularly useful when your workloads are unpredictable or vary greatly.
​
Virtualization can increase IT agility, flexibility, and scalability while creating significant cost savings. Workloads get deployed faster, performance and availability increase and operations become automated, resulting in IT that’s simpler to manage and less costly to own and operate.
