The virtualization landscape is evolving as organizations reassess their cloud strategies, driven by factors such as vendor changes, like Broadcom's acquisition of VMware, and challenges like vendor lock-in. Many organizations are shifting between devirtualization, which entails moving workloads back to physical environments, and revirtualization, migrating them to new virtual providers. Experts emphasize a balanced approach where companies retain private infrastructure alongside public cloud assets to address privacy, regulatory issues, and business needs. This pivot marks a maturation of cloud strategies beyond simplistic 'cloud-first' mandates.
According to Gartner, organizations are exploring public, distributed, and private cloud options, leading to significant shifts in virtualization strategies due to vendor changes and other concerns.
David Terrar believes many companies are reflecting on their cloud strategies after unplanned migrations, indicating a more nuanced approach to balancing private and public IT infrastructure.
