Implications of the xOps Survey for Virtualization Vendors

This IDC Market Perspective highlights the implications of the xOps survey for virtualization vendors. As the population and skill set of IT operations shifts, virtual client computing and related technologies will have to adapt to a new generation of administrators, managers, and digital operating requirements. These adaptations will drive both technical and operational changes, some of which may profoundly impact vendor business strategies."Over the past five years, IT operations have adapted to the advent of digital enterprises while struggling with demographic shortages and skills mismatches," said Shannon Kalvar, research director, IT Service Management and Client Virtualization at IDC. "The next five years will be even more difficult, especially for specialized technology like virtual client computing. This difficulty will bring opportunities and disruptions to this multibillion-dollar market."
