Virtualization and Cloud Computing technology is the hot topic in Information Technology worlds. In many ways, he promised that the application of both can reduce costs, facilities for companies in the IT sector, as well as making the company able to focus on their core business. However, the facts show that there is still a gap between expectations and reality of implementing virtualization and cloud computing.Some 81 percent of companies think about the implementation of private storage as a service, but only 28 percent saw reality as expected. 100 percent of companies surveyed expect to reduce the complexity, but only 53 percent who felt the application of a private storage as a service to meet expectations. Storage virtualization also face challenges. The biggest difference here is agility, scalability and ability to follow the trend of technological development. In scability matter, only 45 percent of the 100 percent enterprise had expected to find that the proper implementation of storage virtualization a reality. The application of hybrid cloud computing / private also face gaps. Among the companies expected that the application will reduce capital spending, only 46% percent felt it. Gap has also appeared in terms of scalability (54 percent) and the computational cost (46 percent). Some of the side that has the maturity on the desktop and server virtualization. The mean difference in desktop virtualization is 0 percent even though there is still a big disappointment in the provision of application. Meanwhile, the gap in server virtualization is only 6 percent even though there are still problems in the scalability and agility. Outside the vacuum, Symantec survey also revealed other data. The company is beginning to focus on critical business applications.
About 63 percent of companies plan to virtualize database applications in the next 12 months. However, companies are slower in the use of hybrid technology / private cloud business-critical applications. Symantec survey also found that service quality is a concern for enterprises deploying virtualization and cloud computing. Symantec also found that business executives and IT are not aligned.
CFO and CEO level is less open in the moving business applications critical to the hybrid cloud / private as a matter of security and control. Based on this fact, Symantec recommends. Raymond said, “and companies must be aligned on virtualization and the efforts of cloud computing. So, do not work in an environment of silos (isolated), as this would bring no benefit. Therefore, it must be comprehensive.
