The issue now is taking all that technical info and translating it into business talk (obviously not my strong point J) and I can throw out some dollars and cent figures but was wondering what else I may need to hit them with to make my case.

Although I have a solid idea of what needs to be said I wanted to see if anyone had a good site(s)with high level information that would help me in convincing management (as non-technical as you can get) to virtualize. We are a small shop (less than 50 users) who will soon double in size so we will need to start adding more systems and bring email in house etc. Any help would be appreciated.
