Three important considerations are needed when moving to enterprise virtualization adoption, and they often amount to a rethinking of virtualization. How do enterprises manage and control how network interconnections are impacted by widespread virtualization? Second, how can configuration management databases help in deploying virtualized servers? And third, how can outsourcing help organizations get the most bang for their virtualization buck?
