Cost reduction, resource utilization and management advantages drive market growth - says Gartner Report.

Gartner recommends that vendors take advantage during this disruptive period by introducing leading-edge management tools in support of virtualisation initiatives and ensure that virtualisation-specific management products can integrate within existing management frameworks.
