"Cost and complexity are the two major hurdles to broad adoption of server virtualization inside the enterprise," said Chris Wolf, Senior Analyst, Burton Group. "During the evaluation process, organizations should strongly consider server virtualization platforms that support automated capacity management and virtual machine failover. Virtualization solutions that reduce complexity while automating virtual machine availability are best positioned for widespread adoption and long term success."
