Too often, virtualization is confused for cloud, leading to the wide spread &ldquo;cloud washing&rdquo; ideology that has occurred over the last few years. Many companies suffer as a result; gaining the agility that virtualization delivers for infrastructure management but gaining none of the cost and performance benefits that true clouds can deliver. Linthicum continues to mention:<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a fact that virtualization is not a requirement when creating cloud computing services, but it is helpful to those who manage the service.&nbsp;&ldquo;<\/p>\n<p>So when considering leveraging bare metal as part of a cloud &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When infrastructure-as-a-service is referenced, we are generally discussing virtual server offerings.
