When it comes to infrastructure and operations, research firm Gartner says that virtualization will be the most significant trend through the next four years.
Not only will virtualization impact IT professionals working on everything from servers to desktops, it will also mean changes for the market as vendors compete and also consolidate.
"Virtualization will transform how IT is managed, what is bought, how it is deployed, how companies plan and how they are charged," Gartner stated in a summary of the survey's findings. "As a result, virtualization is creating a new wave of competition among infrastructure vendors that will result in considerable market disruption and consolidation over the next few years."
