Upcoming trends in virtualization

Talking about predictions or future trends regarding virtualization and cloud computing may be a bit risky, since it is a sector in constant motion and where changes take place in a fast and unpredictable way. A clear example is the adoption of containers with virtual machines, something unexpected a few years ago and that is already established as a base technology.

Coinciding with the start of the new year, some experts of the industry’s major companies like VMware, CA technologies or Bromium share their vision on what could bring us this new year in virtualization and cloud computing. You can read their views in this article: 2015 Virtualization Predictions

Cloud will continue to rise in 2015

The cloud has come to stay. According to IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Cloud IT Infrastructure Tracker , during Q3 of 2014 total cloud infrastructure revenue for the quarter grew over $6.5 billion, 16 % higher than that in the same dates of 2013.

Why VMware and Citrix will launch Linux VDI

Why VMware and Citrix will launch Linux VDI

Very shortly after Citrix announced its Linux technologies for vApp and virtual desktops in XenDesktop and XenApp, VMware reported that Horizon View will support Linux in 2015. And why these firms have decided to take this step? It is very simple. Companies using Linux and Windows would find a VMware and Citrix unified virtualization tool very useful.

In this way, they would no longer maintain two virtualization platforms, two support teams, two protocols, two clients and two different environments. They could manage everything centrally.
