The aim of server virtualization is to eliminate the Hardware equipment in the Datacenter and maximize the utilization of the existing resources. This helps companies in achieving the business goals and objectives in cost effective manner and better support and integration. Virtualization technology changes the protection way of security, as most of hardware and software become after virtualization such as servers, switches, Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) etc. and it's no longer trying to protect a physical hardware, (Hurwitz & et al, 2013). The overall objective of this chapter is to find out the solution for reducing the keep regular increasing recurring cost and risk involved in information technology management and maintenance. The chapter is about finding out the solution from which it's possible to ultimately lower the cost, speed deployment, provide additional disaster recovery options, and ease testing and developing, and provide unprecedented mobility, flexibility and reliability.
