This inflection point is having a profound impact on how we manage, secure and provision IT resources. No doubt the network will look completely different in just a few years too, but here are five predictions for how virtualization will change networking in 2011.

With less than 6 pages of text it is not very deep, but since HP is the most credible player pushing the integration of data center technology silos (servers, networking, storage) through virtualization this document is a must read.
