Here are the top challenges that enterprises must address while considering migration to a virtualized environment:

1. Creating an Excess of Virtual Machines – VM Sprawl

On a single host, it is possible to create innumerable virtual machines. Also known as VM Sprawl, this phenomenon is supposed to be common in virtualized worlds. However, without a proper capacity management, this could lead to unnecessary utilization of resources, a shortage of support capacity and an off-balance of workflow.

2. Misjudgment in Estimating Resource Capacity Required

In a virtual server the hardware used is fixed. However resources that needs to be allocated varies and is dynamic in nature. An accurate estimate should be forecasted in order to ensure sufficient resources are assigned to support virtual machines that are run on host hardware.
