This document discusses the challenges of virtualization and how Symantec addresses them. It notes that virtualization amplifies existing IT challenges like storage management, high availability, and security. It also multiplies complexity and creates new compliance issues. However, Symantec is well-positioned to help customers address these challenges through innovations in virtual machine protection, data deduplication, disaster recovery solutions, and more. The document argues that Symantec solutions help customers realize the full benefits of virtualization by building IT architecture focused on information management rather than specific systems.
