Virtualisation will be the most important technology in IT infrastructures and operations up to 2010, according to Gartner, dramatically changing how IT departments manage, buy, deploy, plan and charge for their services.

Speaking at Gartner’s Infrastructure, Operations and Data Centre Summit in Sydney recently, Gartner vice president and distinguished analyst Thomas Bittman said that virtualisation was no longer only about server and storage consolidation and cost saving. “It is now less about the technology and more about process change and cultural change within organizations,” said Bittman. “Virtualisation enables alternative delivery models for services. Each virtualised layer can be managed relatively independently or even owned by someone else, for example, streamed applications or employee-owned PCs. This can require major cultural changes for organizations.”

Check out this article discussing the Gartner analyst talking about virtualization being about process and cultural change, the article is very good, and virtualization of the pc will be a real challenge to the existing business processes, whether its users using their own pcs, or the merging of the server/desktop support teams?
