Your perspective I believe is a common one: virtualization tends to be a disaster recovery or computing power decision. But vendors are re-packaging their virtualization offerings into the latest chic green trend for computers. Bottom line- you can save substantial energy and consolidate the number of machines in a data center that optimizes their approach to virtualization.

I own a data centre here in New Zealand, and recently we standardised on Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 to provide server consolidation and virtualisation. For me the primary drivers was rapid machine recovery following a disaster / hardware failure (in other words, the virtual server image can be saved as a file, backed up, and then copied to a new physical machine and have your virtual server running just like before. Your blog gave another perspective on it – the Green one. I can now feel that I have reduced my carbon foot print in the process of virtualisation! Tim P.S. thanks again for visiting our blog today.
