Yes, server virtualization really is a good idea.Senior network administrators Dave Trupkin and Greg Hearn told attendees at Gartner’s Data Center Conference that they had begun converting a select number of the utility’s 200 servers to virtualized servers in the years prior to the power failure to combat server sprawl.

Very cool, and if done properly with the correct planning, vmware can be the choice for your infrastructure. DNS/backend infrastructure tools which aren’t typically that cpu/memory intensive make an ideal platform for migration, and the article highlights, how with the virtual machine being a few files, your config file and disks, moving from host to host can be easily done to get your IT back into action.
