Ten Things Holding Virtualization Back – 1. Buzzword Bonanza
With the advent of server, storage and application virtualization, nobody is sure of what anybody is referring to anymore. Does anybody want a JVM to go with that other virtual machine?
Ten Things Holding Virtualization Back – 2. Product Proliferation
Between VMware, Microsoft, XenSource, Virtual Iron and whatever else may come, nobody knows if they want hosted, hypervisor or now para-virtualization, or why they need what.
Ten Things Holding Virtualization Back – 3. Vendor Politics
Arguments between Red Hat and Novell in the Linux community and the squabbling between VMware and Microsoft just serve to freeze the market.
Ten Things Holding Virtualization Back – 4. Server Consolidation
Virtualization is tightly coupled with server consolidation, which brings a whole new set of system issues, concerns about network performance and higher energy costs.
Ten Things Holding Virtualization Back – 5. Virtual Performance
The virtualization of file servers is all well and fine, but trying to apply it to a database server just creates all kinds of counterproductive I/O performance issues.
Ten Things Holding Virtualization Back – 6. Waiting for Virtual Godot
Systems running the next generation of built-in virtualization technology from Intel and AMD that add a lot of value to the equation are just now coming to market.
Ten Things Holding Virtualization Back – 7. Waiting for Virtual Godot II
Microsoft and VMware are now giving away some virtual machines for free, but the one that everybody wants for free won’t show up until sometime after Windows Server 2008 shows up.
Ten Things Holding Virtualization Back – 8. The Black Box Syndrome
For the most part, virtual machines are closed operating systems that offer very little visibility into how they work, creating the potential for vendor lock-in.
Ten Things Holding Virtualization Back – 9. License Management
In a virtual world, nobody is sure if they are in or out of compliance with their application licenses.
Ten Things Holding Virtualization Back – 10. No Virtual Management
Virtual machine sprawl is making it more rather than less difficult to manage the overall IT infrastructure.
