| |July 20164CIOReviewEditorialVOL 4 · VMware SPECIAL · JULY 19 - 2016Over the past decade, we have seen transition of virtualization technologies from small shop and educational tools to full blown IT solutions. In the past, many major software vendors would explicitly say that their software will not work in a virtual state and will not be supported if the end-user decided to virtualize. Now, the technology has changed and evolved. Matching the needs of the industry to create a more efficient infrastructure ­ virtualization was re-born as a powerful platform. Some of the biggest software makers are now creating design and best practices around a virtual infrastructure. The industry has shifted from one-to-one hardware platforms and has created a more efficient data center in which resources are shared between numerous workloads. Starting with VMware, there were many other secondary players in the market place during the early days. If we look at the today's scenario, VMware has come a long way in the hypervisor market. It still commands the top spot within the server virtualization world and makes some of the best application and desktop virtualization technologies. As VMware continues to evolve, the product is known for its feature-rich suite capable of some very powerful solutions. Integration with DR, SAN, LAN and WAN technologies makes VMware an intricate component to many modern data center environments. However, one of the biggest challenges facing a potential customer is to understand which feature and license set is required for a given project. Prior to any purchase, the IT team should plan out the deployment and have a clear picture to which features are key for the environment.
