Look at some of the basic and advanced things you can do with this complete virtual infrastructure:

- Server Consolidation: Improve utilization of your current systems through partitioning and consolidation. You can run unmodified guest operating systems concurrently on a single server.

- Rapid Provisioning: Fast, easy set up of development, testing, staging and production environments.

- Business Continuity: Implement high availability and disaster recovery with fewer resources.

- Capacity Management: Align your computing resources with your business initiatives through configuration and resource allocation.

- LiveMigrate: Move a running virtual machine from one physical server to another, with no downtime.

- LiveCapacity: Schedule across a shared pool of resources; continuously sample performance data from each and every server and virtual machine in the virtual datacenter; automatically make policy driven scheduling decisions; works with LiveMigrate to continuously optimize your virtual datacenter; reacts to addition or removal of servers from the virtual datacenter.

- LiveRecovery: Gives you high availability for all of your servers.

That's the power of virtual infrastructure! Parts 1 to 3 are also available:
