CDW Executive SummIT: Top Trends in Virtualization
At the September CDW Executive SummIT in Las Vegas, Nutanix's Harsha Kotikela and CDW's Aaron Young shared thoughts on the biggest virtualization trends hitting the market. For starters, most customers are using virtualization as an abstraction layer within their data, where different hardware solutions and applications are joined. AI is also changing how storage, compute and the networking components of the data center fit together. And Broadcom's acquisition of VMware has forced customers to look for virtualization alternatives.

- Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware has spurred customers to explore alternatives, while the rise of cloud-native and AI-driven applications is pushing IT leaders to rethink platforms.
- With more workloads moving to the edge, IT leaders must prioritize moving compute closer to data for faster insights, especially in AI use cases.
- Security must be folded into every layer: infrastructure, data, and applications. A smart strategy bridges virtual machine-based systems with container-based architectures.
