This is because if fortune 1000 companies continue down the path of outsourcing their IT functions, it could be their IT services vendors who decide what virtualization technology to use.

With VMware’s tight relationship with Cisco, HP and IBM are not viable partners. Would the large independent IT services companies like Accenture, CapGemini, Infosys, TCS, Wipro make sense?

Thoughts welcome..
