We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

iTKO CEO to Present Virtualization Session at SOA World Conference & Expo
Virtualized Behavior: The Next Generation of Virtualization for SOA

SOA and Virtualization are currently considered to be two separate disciplines, but they no longer need to be. SOA offers the enterprise the benefits of increased agility and cost efficiency in terms of application development, reuse, and making connections across heterogeneous applications and business partners. Virtualization is creating some real cost benefits for the data center in terms of hardware, but it is still leaving most of the potential efficiency and cost savings on the table for SOA. How can teams Virtualize to improve the quality and time-to-market of SOA functionality, which does not necessarily reside under a centralized team's control? The extended organization must break the barriers of connecting these two strategies by Virtualizing their shared Behaviors, thereby multiply the expected value of virtualization.

Current state of Virtualization and the barriers to SOA Success.
 
You can Virtualize without SOA, but you can't succeed at SOA without Virtualization.
 
How will companies manage the changing and complex behaviors of SOA applications and their underlying systems?
 
What tangible and intangible benefits will come from combining SOA and Virtualization?

Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) have evolved over the past few years out of the original vision of loosely coupled web services replacing constrained, stovepiped applications throughout enterprise IT. Every major enterprise technology vendor today has developed its own SOA strategy, supported by innumerable mid-size companies and start-ups offering specific SOA aspects or entire solutions. This explosive growth in SOA technology is in response to a global demand--IDC estimates that spending on SOA services alone will grow from $8.6 billion to more than $33 billion by 2010.
