In the ending comments of your article you asked

“"Who's bridging the connectivity divide? Data centers will run physical and virtual machines, on multiple platforms, cross-connected to different networks and storage, shifting in real-time. Who's managing 'infrastructure virtualization,' beyond CPU virtualization."

For that answer I suggest you look at DataSynapse. Their virtualization software works across disparate systems (UNIX, Linux windows.) and acts as a management console for applications and VM’s sharing that aggregated computer power and giving companies unheard of utilization figures.

Also because there product is “application aware” it can automate the process that capacity planers go through when planning a VMware environment and allocating VM’s to the applications. This takes the swag out of allocating and gives a reduction in the cost of managing VMware images.

I was surprised to find that this leading edge company was not even mentioned in your article they really do have a compelling story.
