Abstract
The Future of Virtualization report examines one of the biggest trends in
recent IT history: virtualization. The promise of virtualization technology -
whether applied to the server, storage, client/desktop, application or network
- is to increase capacity, utilize resources more effectively and reduce
costs. It also fits neatly with many organizations' green IT strategies, with
its promise to increase utilization of existing assets and eliminate the
demand for more energy-guzzling hardware resources. Virtualization is not only
a hot topic but also a rapidly evolving area of the IT sector. Despite a tough
macroeconomic climate, there is evidence that organizations are willing to
invest in virtualization technologies, making it of great interest to
incumbent vendors and those eyeing up the future market opportunity. This
report is of interest to any supplier of IT products and services, whether
selling direct or through a channel of resellers. This group includes
virtualization vendors, hardware vendors, software vendors, open source
specialists, system management providers, service providers, data centers,
internet-based businesses such as Amazon offering in-cloud applications,
value-added resellers and managed network service providers.
