Q:
Will virtualzation result in standardized servers
I work with an IT organization that has approximately 12,000 servers from five different vendors and 115 different model types. I assume this large number of model numbers is because each was chosen to do a single task and therefore was customized for that task (I am new to servers and virtualization). It seems that as the industry moves to virtualization it will result in a substantial reduction in unique model numbers as the IT moves to more standard type servers. Is this correct? Jim4522

So, within a given virtualized environment, you will most likely only have 1 classification of hardware (whatever generation of whatever virtualization technology you use), although there may be some different classifications of hardware between your environment and an environment that belongs to someone else who chose a different virtualization solution.
