Focus is a simple word. As individuals, it’s somewhat easier to focus on things we want to. As businesses, however, it just gets more complicated that it should be. Obviously, there are a lot more people involved when businesses take shape. Plus, the external forces act way too strong on businesses to remain in a Zen like, nonchalant state.

While there’s nothing new about network virtualization, it’s always been a technology that makes us think: “Wow. So, technology does that”.

The number of available software patches continues to increase each day. The change of software, platform, configuration and ownership (both IT and business) increases the complexity of the IT environment, making the task of keeping each software component at its most current patch level, all the more challenging.
