Multi-hypervisor environments: Worth the work?

Are multi-hypervisor environments the right solution to virtualization oligarchy? Enterprise organizations considering the multi-hypervisor approach say they're looking to avoid vendor lock-in and take their workloads mobile. But it's a strategy that CIOs should approach with a certain measure of caution due to the possibility of adding unnecessary complexities.
In this issue of CIO Decisions e-zine, Features Writer Karen Goulart breaks down the benefits, and also drawbacks, of a multi-hypervisor approach. In addition, Senior News Writer Nicole Laskowski looks at publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's Agile strategy, and explains how Ancestry.com is utilizing Hadoop to breathe new life into its online offerings. Also, we look at the rising specter of cyberthreats in the boardroom, why PaaS is anything but passé and how one CTO is generating big business value from big data.
