Virtualization

The benefits of a virtualization initiative are many -- higher service levels, reduced risk through better business continuity, lower costs through better utilization of existing hardware resource -- but those benefits come with a price. That price is that your IT business processes need to be well defined, visible to the enterprise, and ideally automated to provide the appropriate checks and balances to the VM deployment. In other words, virtualization provides opportunities to streamline, optimize, and leverage those system resources provided that there is good planning, process, and management of them.

The ISM Framework for IT Success^SM contains an optimal mixture of both structure and flexibility to promote the agility afforded by virtualization and yet avoid some common virtualization pitfalls, such as virtual server sprawl and inadequate security.
