What is the future of Cloud and Virtualization?

Virtualization has enabled the Cloud, Cloud computing and virtualization go hand in hand. Virtualization is cloud’s foundation and cloud computing software. But as the Cloud evolves, so too must virtualization to support more IO-intensive network and storage workloads, and to ensure that open standards being developed across the industry can also be applied to hypervisor (virtual machine manager) designs. Most clouds today run on virtualization technology that is ten years old. But work is taking place behind the scenes to revolutionize the way virtualization is done.
