And from what I see, the struggle with the technology is consistent. However, if it was easy it would already be wide spread and universal across the industry leaders. The weak point is not virtualization per se, but workload management, and agnostic uniform control. For example, if you have Citrix, KVM, and VMware running, you have application virtualization, containers (OS based) and full virtualization running, but can not control them from one concept or view? And that is exactly what an enterprise customer needs and wants. Yes, a number of firms I know of, to various degrees are moving to cloud concepts.
