Two VMware engineers attempted to virtualize 100% of the workloads in an enterprise data center. This is a recap of the lessons they learned.

Conclusion
Complex workloads can challenge the desire to reach 100% virtualization within a data center. While VMware has closed the gap for the most demanding workloads, it may still prove impractical to virtualize some workloads.
Once seen as hostile to the technology, the company appears to have done a complete about-face.

Good read.
Excerpt: In the past, enterprise cloud adoption was primarily focused on software as a service (SaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) offerings, but lately there’s been an increasing call for enterprise adoption of the middle sibling of the cloud family: platform as a service (PaaS).
So what is PaaS? And why is it so important?
Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a model of cloud computing in which a vendor provides the user with the hardware and software tools necessary to create, deploy and manage applications at scale via the internet, as a service. Here’s how renowned IT research and advisory firm Gartner, Inc. defines PaaS in their IT glossary:
“A [PaaS] offering, usually depicted in all cloud diagrams between the SaaS layer above it and the IaaS layer below, is a broad collection of applicationinfrastructure (middleware) services (including application platform, integration, business process management, and database services). However, the hype surrounding the PaaS concept is focused mainly on application PaaS as the representative of the whole category.”

“Microsoft should understand that if they were to offer the ability to do a Windows client OS on SPLA, it’s not going to hurt them. Hopefully, they’ll make that change. If something isn’t done within the next 12 to 18 months, people are going to move on past the desktop.”
