NFV Rising
Virtualization provides companies many benefit including reducing costs. It has allowed many company to move from a hardware centric environment to a virtual environment that requires less staff. No longer do companies need staff to maintain hardware, it can all be outsourced.

Unfortunately, employees with hardware skills will have to learn new skills to rebrand themselves.

Timeline
When trying to implement any new technology there is nothing that can be implemented quickly. It makes me laugh when companies consistently think that a technology can be implemented in a short amount of time and then get disappointed when they realize it takes longer than expected.

@dcawrey, Good point. Companies should not be surprised that it takes time to implement a technology so the fact that CSPs realize it will take longer to implement is laughable. They should know better by know.

@freehe Basic virtualization of things like servers was very early - and very simplistic. I think customers want to believe it's going to be that easy all the time when it comes to virtualization. Some of us know the opposite is true.
