bMighty has a great article up on using virtualization in smaller companies, which features a profile of Virtual Iron customer Owen Bird:

Owen Bird, a full-service, midsize law firm, uses virtualization technology from Virtual Iron, and it's made a big difference to Bakerman. "The infrastructure for me was key, and I worked at changing the servers that were problematic," says Bakerman.

When Stephen Bakerman joined Owen Bird Law Corp., in Vancouver, British Columbia, nearly nine years ago, the IT infrastructure was a "mishmash of everything."

To clean things up, Bakerman -- Owen Bird's information technology manager and one-man IT department -- has taken the 88-employee law firm virtual. He is currently running 17 hardware servers and recently purchased four more to be dedicated to virtualization. His intention is to run 17 virtual servers on five hardware boxes.

It's happening all over the place: companies outside of the Fortune 500 are seeing the real benefit of virtualization -- and not just for server consolidation but also for disaster recovery and ease of use.

Have you put virtualization into production yet? What benefits are you seeing? What's the size of your company?
