Ntirety views Database Virtualization as an important part of a Database Consolidation strategy.  Yet, many organizations are not pursuing this approach aggressively, in some cases because they have been convinced by database and/or application vendors that performance is contingent on dedicated physical hardware and databases.  In our experience, with the correct configuration, a virtualized database and application run at or near native speeds.

For example, Ntirety partner VMWare has documented examples of utilizing vSphere virtualization software to consolidate a SQL infrastructure by 4X to 20X while cutting hardware and software costs by more than 50% , all the while avoiding the painful compromises associated with traditional database consolidation. Traditional database consolidation can require painful application migrations and rigorous processes for version control and continued application compatibility.  Virtualizing simultaneously consolidates databases and optimizes compute resources, while maintaining application flexibility by isolating each database in its own virtual machine. Databases can be migrated in their current state without expensive and error-prone application migrations. 

Representatative Database Virtualization Benefits:
