In server virtualization, 2012 was a busy year. VMware and Microsoft released to great products. Many people think that the gap between the big two smaller cisco  router.

Increasingly fierce competition on 2013 IT people have what meaning? 2013 will appear what kind of server virtualization trend? Our industry experts forecast.

Expert Christian Mohn begins with a brief review of the virtual dynamic down in 2012. VMware changes in licensing and function to resist Microsoft Hyper-V 3. VRAM disappeared, VMware includes products and more characters in different license layer.

For 2013, unless the world at the end of December 21, 2012, as long as the server virtualization continue to develop in the data center, Microsoft and VMware are struggling to compete. The real competition to promote innovation, long-term and profitable. But will also lead to more complexity and more management levels, at the same time the enterprise tries to balance function, stability and price. These virtual trend is hierarchical hypervisor mode, the user can load transfer between the plurality of local Hypervisor and a foreign service cloud. But in 2013, the full realization of a bit difficult.

This year the popular words is "software defined data center". With virtualization across the computer and storage, moved to the network and security, we may see the birth of a new ability and plenty of innovative enterprises.

Interface technology training expert Jason Helmick said, last year to predict the trend of virtualization that is very correct. Discussion on the cloud has changed (also will continue to change): from "what is cloud" to "when do we use the cloud".

Microsoft challenge in front of the VMware book, indeed in some areas have made progress. Small and medium enterprises moths to Office 365. Large enterprises also see Hyper-V never too important service began to slowly into the private and hybrid virtualization products. Then Windows NT in much the same way, continue to enter the network operating system store. With the development of IT, people familiar with the Hyper-V 3, they expect more projects to merge the System Center 2012 and virtual machine manager. This year, Microsoft Server Core 2012 as a virtual operating system finally, to provide more in need of business services.

This is not to say that 2013 will be bad for VMware, after all, VMware support is the most. VMware will continue to grow in 2013, benefit from the IT industry transfer to virtualization and cloud computing. Between Microsoft and VMware these two giants of the competition means better solutions, including from the original framework plan to daily management. These will reduce the complexity and cost, at the same time for more users and IT (such as those that focus on the mastery of simultaneous administration of the two products) of PowerShell management in 2013 will increase by.

More and better products and increasing knowledge of IT will make 2013 is an unusual virtualization years.

Expert Maish Saidel-Keesing published  cisco switch  his views on 2013 business trends:

1.2013 years is not VDI.

2 heterogeneous cloud (of course, there are a number of hypervisor) become more common. And will continue to evolve, increase of platform and vendor support.

3 we will see more heavyweight manufacturers to join the storage and network field.

4 Cisco will through the acquisition of a storage vendors will enter the storage market.

5 Amazon and VMware will become a direct competitor. Public cloud market share and the terminal user is VMware have to touch the cheese.

Independent 6 application equipment will become more and more popular. VMware will once again leading the market.
