What will this tool help me decide? The Impact of Virtualization
TCOnow! for Windows Server Virtualization will help you determine the impact of Virtualization on your site requirements, server needs, network bandwidth, IT staffing, and downtime. By answering a limited number of questions, TCOnow! will generate a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comparison of your Windows Server Virtualization options. You can choose to base your comparison on continuing with your current server environment, migrating to a Windows Virtual Server environment with or without modifying your current applications, or migrating to a Virtual Virtual Server environment and updating your applications for Windows Server 2003.
The typical Windows NT4 environment has a number of departmental lines of business applications. Combined with the decentralized branch network and a number of test environments, many organizations face a proliferation of Windows Intel servers that are poorly utilized, not supported, or nearing the end of the lifecycle. A Windows Virtual Server may help untangle this IT environment. The business case will show you how to consolidate branch office, test, department, and legacy applications. In addition, you can choose to consolidate the number of physical locations with servers installed – possibly reshaping your entire network! If you are trying to determine the impact of Virtualization, then this is the product for you!
