Microsoft's virtualization strategy includes a shift in the way that companies think about IT--moving from IT as a cost center and toward a dynamic view where IT is a strategic asset to the business. Server virtualization and other virtualization products from Microsoft will be key to this shift, providing more efficiency in terms of server consolidation, development and testing, business continuity, accelerated provisioning, and a dynamic data center. Microsoft offers a comprehensive set of virtualization options, from the desktop to the data center--assets that are both virtual and physical. Wtih dynamic IT you can backup, configure, monitor and distribute infrastructure software and applications, both physical and virtual, with one license.
