As always, the candidates for Research of the Month are our Research of the Week award winners during the month, which were for May:

"Managing the Data Center Cost Portfolio During a Recession," 6 May 2009
"Toolkit: How to Calculate TCO for Server Virtualization," 19 May 2009
"Case Study: How WAN Optimization Rescued a Virtual Desktop Deployment at Low Cost," 7 May 2009
"Best Practices for Deploying Hosted Virtual Desktops," 26 May 2009

And the winner is:
"Toolkit: How to Calculate TCO for Server Virtualization," 19 May 2009

Why? Well, in this case, YOU made the decision here. This Toolkit was given "5 stars" by Gartner for I&O Leaders clients. (The other reports receiving client ratings scored in the 4 to 4 ½ star range). Additionally, I believe this is a great example of the value-add that Toolkits deliver to our Gartner for IT Leaders clients.

Congratulations, Stewart and Phil!
