In just a few short years, the idea of virtualization and the business benefits it brings has spread to virtually every facet of IT.  Whether consolidating servers, individual desktops, the network itself, your critical storage, or the applications that drive your data processing, virtualization is the hot topic throughout Information Technology and its technologies today. Yet while all of these purported benefits are valid, the smart enterprise recognizes that virtualization’s promise is only truly achieved when virtualization augments the processing of business. 

The Shortcut Guide to Virtualization and Service Automation assists the smart enterprise with understanding virtualization’s fit into the rest of the IT environment.  A major part of that fit is in aligning the promise of virtualization technology with the automation benefits associated with virtualization management.  What you’ll find in reading this guide is that notwithstanding what technologies and technological improvements virtualization brings to the table, there are a set of management enhancements that also arrive.  Those enhancements are a function of the levels of automation that naturally bundles with the move to virtualization.
