6. Do you have a capacity-planning discipline? Virtual server sprawl is a common result of virtualization deployments outgrowing their existing capacity. EMA recommends IT organizations use detailed capacity-planning measures to make sure they have sufficient hardware and software resources to support their virtualization implementation and make sure it doesn't get out of control.
7. Is there support for your environments? While many popular, packaged applications support virtualization, many applications do not, EMA says. The research group recommends IT shops investigate which of their software and hardware platforms are supported and which might require them to upgrade before rolling out virtualization.
8. Can your network support virtualization? Network and storage can represent potential bottlenecks for virtualization in the data center. For instance, virtualization technologies that focus on the user, such as application or desktop virtualization or application streaming, don't work well over low-bandwidth connections, EMA says. Enterprise IT managers can try to address network and storage limitations with WAN-optimization technologies or by limiting the proliferation of images.
