Why Orgs Should Choose Modern Virtualization
SUSE, Tuesday, February 17th, 2026
Virtualization has long been a cornerstone of enterprise IT. It enabled organizations to consolidate hardware, improve utilization, and standardize infrastructure.
However, the application landscape has changed significantly. Today's enterprises are running a mix of legacy virtual machines, cloud native microservices, and data-intensive workloads across hybrid and edge environments.
Industry research reflects this shift. The 2025 Voice of Kubernetes Experts report highlights that most organizations (85%) are operating Kubernetes environments alongside traditional VM-based infrastructure in production, as a pilot, or in a POC, underscoring the reality of hybrid application platforms rather than a full replacement of legacy systems.
