Virtualization is a disruptive technology and we all know that. With this post I want to share with you some scenarios about how server (and storage) virtualization can drastically change the landscape for "small IT shops" (aka SMB's) in the context of High-Availability and Disaster/Recovery. Up until today server "high availability" was not for everyone as it required a complexity and a cost that many IT shops could not sustain. I have already been talking about the change of paradigm that a virtual infrastructure brings in when it comes to make a service highly available.
