AberdeenGroup has published a new short report with the above title. It describes a research programme which found that 31 percent of organizations have virtualization deployed within their IT infrastructure and found that virtualization has a strong adoption rate, largely due to companies’ need to cut costs through server consolidation and resource flexibility. About fifty percent of companies surveyed either have deployed or plan to evaluate some virtualization solutions.

However, the report says, ‘it was only a matter of time before a red flag was raised about how these new logical environments are going to be secured for high availability, disaster recovery and business continuity’.

‘Virtualization and business continuity: are you protected?’ discusses how organizations can protect their newly virtualized environments.
