#Virtualization: Top Twitter Influencers To Follow

Why Trust Techopedia
KEY TAKEAWAYS

We've compiled a list of the most influential voices who are talking about virtualization on Twitter.

Virtualization isn’t exactly new, but this ever-evolving technology hasn’t become any less buzzworthy over the past few years. By creating a virtual version of a device or resource, virtualization can improve computing efficiency, reduce the need for expensive hardware and cut overall IT costs. As new innovations continue to emerge, this technology is promising to change IT infrastructure and streamline management.

Want to stay on top of new developments in this area? We’ve compiled a list of the most influential voices who are talking about it on Twitter.

Why this list? Well, it’s based on Twitter data culled according to content, follower/following ratios, frequency of tweets, blog popularity, the opinions of other virtualization experts and influencers and our own subjective judgment.

One note: Some influential voices are not included, either because they don’t have active Twitter accounts, or they only tweet about virtualization sporadically. Here, our goal is to provide the best possible stream of virtualization news and insight.
