In November 2009, CA commissioned Forrester Consulting to evaluate the impact, challenges, and requirements around the operational aspects of virtualization.

In conducting surveys with 257 IT professionals, Forrester found that these companies achieved operational benefits from virtualization, but challenges remain.
