Business Challenge
Disruption and uncertainty are challenging today's IT leaders to rethink application architecture. Modern market trends and recent acquisitions have led to greater consideration of virtualization strategies with more flexibility, scale, and consistency.
In addition, pressures to manage infrastructure costs while still meeting the needs of modern workloads are further escalating the need for change. Today's choices include diversifying with a current provider, switching virtualization providers, moving to the cloud, or modernizing Virtual Machines (VMs) with KubeVirt. For those with their eyes on the future, modernization is an attractive solution.
