Key Leverage Points

Server Consolidation – Virtualize and consolidate existing
workloads, increasing utilization rates and lowering operating
costs

Test and Development – Rapidly provision and re-provision
test and development servers; store libraries of pre-configured
test machines

Business Continuity – Improve recovery times by storing
copies of production servers as hardware-independent virtual
machines

Enterprise Desktop – Provision standardized PC environments
to remote and guest workers and ensure safe access to
enterprise resources
