"Virtualization will continue as the highest-impact issue challenging infrastructure and operations through 2015, changing how you manage, how and what you buy, how you deploy, how you plan and how you charge. Virtualization now drives efficient IT from all angles, including data center design, platform updates, and application and infrastructure modernization, as well as traditional and new delivery models, such as infrastructure utility and cloud computing. However, virtualization does take investment; the savings are not a given."

— Quote by Philip Dawson, research vice president at Gartner.  Quote fond at “Gartner Says Virtualization to Be Highest-Impact Issue Challenging Infrastructure and Operations Through 2015” via Gartner press release.

"Those who think the simple act of leveraging virtualization constitutes cloud computing are missing a significant point. In fact, virtualization is an inefficient way of managing cloud infrastructure; as IT becomes more adept at cloud architecture and the underlying technology further advances, you’ll see less and less virtualization used in cloud computing."

— Quote by David Linthicum of IDG.  Quote found at InfoBOOM - End-times for server virtualization?
