XYZ Company has done little to begin any virtualization strategy.
The past CIO did not consider this a strategy for cost avoidance, which has led to systems that are, in almost every case, physical in nature.
The little work that was done in this area was for Web servers, which draw content from a small NAS over NFS/Samba.
The current XYZ Company staff does not know whether this structure is beneficial or not; it simply knows that it generally works.
The board at XYZ is open to all considerations which will reduce complexity and improve cost structure(s).
