A Buyer’s Guide to Modern Virtualization
If you’re uncertain about the future of your organization’s virtualization strategy you’re not alone.
“Through 2028, disruptions in the server virtualization market will result in more than 60% of enterprises accelerating their public cloud migrations and exploring revirtualization of virtual workloads” (Gartner® Inc, Predicts 2024: Mind the Gap Between Infrastructure and Infrastructure Platforms, 17 October 2023). This disruption comes at a time when businesses are under increasing pressure to protect profits amidst global economic turbulence. The price increases, industry accelerated shift from perpetual licensing, and restructuring of contracts make balancing the budget even more challenging for IT.
Beyond this, IT leaders face the challenge of meeting modern workload needs. Innovation driven by generative AI is pushing the boundaries of current infrastructure deployments. AI-based applications and workloads require new and more flexible architecture paradigms including public cloud and containers.
Forward-thinking IT leaders are asking not simply how to meet the demands of this moment, but how to build infrastructure that can scale with the demands of technology yet to be invented—not just for the next year, but the next five years and beyond.
