Barriers To VMware Technology Adoption
I continuously find these barriers:
Positive indicators mean you are pushing the envelope which is critical for VMware technology adoption
Warning indicators mean you are doing it wrong
Warning IndicatorIncorrect and negative perceptions
Warning IndicatorUnclear / changing drivers and goals
Positive IndicatorResistance to change
Positive Indicator“I don’t know what I don’t know”
Positive IndicatorFear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD)

Impact Of Barriers
Somebody Else’s Problem?
Management by Objective (MBO)
Yearly budget targets
Goodwill
Opportunity Cost
Competitive advantage
The Somebody Else's Problem field (SEP field) is a fictional technology from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy" by Douglas Adams. It is a cheaper and more practical alternative to an invisibility field.

Involve Operations
Not a last item, but a constant process
Common cause of failure
Changes made after testing
Lack of involvement from Ops
Not repeatable or consistent
