Greater than what....
"Server virtualization (in the PC/IBM sense of hosting multiple equivalent OS instances on one machine), for example, is extraordinarily popular right now and can definitely reduce data center cost - but almost always does so at greater cost to the business and so is generally net negative for the employer."

When making a comparative statement you need to specify both sides of the comparison, not just one.

"PC style" virtualization saves money over normal "PC style" data center operations, where you have a bunch of idling servers hosting one application...or worse having multiple idling servers hosting one application.
