The maturation of virtualisation solutions in the x86 and UNIX realm has opened the door to an endless array of choices. More choices offer organisations greater flexibility, but they can also introduce confusion and complexity.
Every virtualisation technology operates in a slightly different manner. This is compounded by the fact that every IT environment is vastly different, with its own unique operating patterns, technical compositions, and business constraints. Because of this, there’s probably never going to be one ideal virtualisation technology for every IT scenario. So it’s better to focus resources on choosing the right technology for a specific situation instead of finding the ever-elusive “perfect” solution.
