In March of 2015, ActualTech Media partnered with Solarwinds in an attempt to discover just how far virtualization has penetrated the data center and to identify the real challenges that face modern organizations. More importantly, we sought to understand the common characteristics of the modern data center in order to help end users best identify solutions that can ease the overall management and monitoring effort that must be expended.

The need to support multiple hypervisors?
Storage-related performance challenges that are tough to identify?
Capacity planning challenges?
You’re not alone! In our report, you will discover the most common virtualization challenges faced by your peers. You will learn that, for all the hype, DevOps barely scratches the surface when it comes to mind-share in the enterprise. You will also discover the most common types of storage in use by other companies and will learn what respondents feel is lacking from their existing monitoring tools.
This essential report examines:
The current thoughts on Hyperconverged infrastructure, Software Defined Storage, and Hybrid Clouds
The adoption rate of alternative hypervisors
