This IDC study focuses on the potential impact that x86 server virtualization is having on business continuity (BC) practices in datacenters. This study provides detailed analysis of the shift from traditional datacenter protection to BC plans in virtualized server environments. Furthermore, it examines the issues and potential benefits that organizations should consider in formulating a virtualized roadmap.

"Virtualization has changed the way IT managers think about server deployment and energy efficiency and IDC believes that business continuity will be similarly affected," said Nathaniel Martinez, program director with IDC European System Infrastructure solutions.
