Andreas Antonopoulos kicked off our recent webinar on Virtualization and the Future of the Network with some interesting research findings. Based on your own perceptions and existing projects, this may surprise you:
Since the early days of virtualization there has been a shift. Agility is now a more influential driver than cost savings.
You can view the entire preso here. Of course you may want to watch the on demand webinar which will be posted in early October.

Any ideas why a partial deployment of virtualization would have more productivity than a full deployment? That finding seems interesting, or perhaps I am looking at the chart wrong.

Glenn:
I think the Nemertes chart is reporting that servers per administrator is higher in partial projects than full virtualization projects. Could be a factor of fewer people managing more... I'll ask Andreas.
Thanks!
