2012 Cloud/Virtualization Predictions

[WebMaster]

Hi Folks,

It seems 2012 will be the year with most predictions about cloud computing/virtualization by industry pundits, experts and bloggers. Making predictions isn't really my thing but I would like to get your opinion, thoughts on what 2012 holds for the cloud computing and virtualization industry?

If I had to make a prediction and this might just the only one... I would say that heterogeneous cloud/virtualization management would (should?) be focus of the industry in 2012. With multiple hypervisors, and many organizations wanting to run 2 or 3 in their environment, it would become increasingly difficult to manage each hypervisor from its own console. To be able to sustain cloud/virtualization growth, cross-vendor infrastructure management should be the priority for many established and upcoming companies.


What are your thoughts on 2012? Any interesting predictions?

Please share!

Have you heard about the IBM's prediction in the next years? Every year, IBM announces a brand new crop of predictions of technological changes that it thinks will come to pass in the next 5 years. Its been hit and misses to date. That said, biometric protection replacing passwords, computer systems reading minds and other things are being forecast by the tech giant. I read the article here : Mind reading computers among IBM Five in Five predictions

There's nothing wrong if we believe in this. Actually, I'm excited to have this kind of technology and experience how it works. Its great to have this but it puts a lot of responsibility to the person who have it. So I'm going to wait for it and lets see!
