New Future Virtualization

Late in 2003 … I was  providing Level-3 Support  for Windows Technologies …  where are used MS Virtual PC & later Virtual Server to simulate  the  actual scenarios of  the issue been faced far at the customer remote site…  which we use to  replicate the actual setup using MS Virtual Server …  the Aim  was to test  the issues and  come  up  with the  resolution in own  virtual created environment …. Later MS & VMware came with  Hypervisors an virtualized solution Platform ….& it started picking up the momentum of  Virtual Infrastructure ….however the limitations were many due to the very less vendors supporting the virtual infra…. Thus R&D on developing more capabilities came into existence in support. Realizing the benefits how Server Resource optimization can be highly achieved to the  extend its not wasted and trigged a boom in lifting the Virtual Infrastructure.  Finally Server Virtualization made its way into Majority of the Data center environment and widely been adopted by numerous organizations

With lot more awareness quickly growing, technical folks saw that server resources were being wasted vividly and that virtualization was a way to inhibit that. And with that, the pressure rising on vendors to support a virtual environment. From there, server virtualization made its way into almost all data center environments as more organizations adopted the technology to help align their business needs.

The Next move in the field of virtualization …. Beyond simple server virtualization and are exploring new avenues to make virtualization an even more powerful platform. Such as

Server Virtualization. This stays on the list only because server virtualization continues to evolve and expand. With entire platforms being designed for server virtualization, more emphasis is being placed on how to better use a virtual environment. There continues to be a need for virtualizing the server and to better incorporate virtualization efficiencies into the modern data center. However, a lot of future conversation around server virtualization revolves around commodity server systems. Remember, your hypervisor is a lot more power than ever before. Future capabilities will allow you to create even better underlying server resource management solutions to help keep your underlying data center very agile

1.  Hosted/Virtual/Cloud Desktops.
2. Application wise virtualization. 
3. Network Virtualization (SDN and NFV).
4. Security Abstraction.
5. Storage Virtualization.

The list will most likely grow as more environments seek ways to be even more efficient. Already, virtualization technologies are helping many businesses cut costs, regain control, and allow for greater growth with their infrastructure. The most important point to remember here is that the logical (virtual) layer will be critical to help connect your data center to your users – and to the cloud.
