Virtualization is taking the IT world by storm. After years of IT build-out,
virtualization suddenly fixes everything from datacenter crowding to high
cholesterol. But many IT managers are just getting started with virtualization
and are employing it in only the most straightforward ways. If you're in this
camp, you could be leaving your network vulnerable to attack, needlessly
complicating your disaster recovery plan and double-spending on your
network infrastructure.
This paper describes five mistakes common to many implementations of
enterprise virtualization. Most of these mistakes relate to virtualization and
networking infrastructure. Ideally, after reading this paper, you'll be
sensitized to these issues so that you can plan for them and make your
virtualization projects more successful.
