A virtual certainty?
It's a bit on the tech-heavy side, but Techworld's recent interview with IBM's Rich Lechner, vice-president of virtualisation has a few gems that will get any entrepreneurial owner-manager thinking:

"We see it as a way for clients to save money and cut costs. It'll have a profound impact on customers' future business, their data, everything."

"A customer can justify the cost of virtualisation through a single data migration. Then they can do tiered storage, disaster recovery and so on."

"Virtualisation can accelerate innovation within the organisation because IT systems people don't have to spend time doing mundane tasks like data migration but can instead spend time adding value to the business."

And he's not the only one who's talking up the technology, but does that mean its success is a virtual cert? Time will tell.
