Service virtualization envisions a promising solution to alleviate dependency constraints. However, its implementation can pose confusing questions for IT architects. Success in virtualization initiatives comes from understanding the three W's (Why virtualize, What is the virtualization process and When to virtualize) and one H (How to virtualize). Previous papers in this white paper series have already helped us address the questions that pertained to the "Why" and "When" of Service Virtualization. This paper focuses on the "What" of the virtualization process and also lays out a practitioner's approach/methodology to successfully implementing Service Virtualization. |
