Question:
"Kitchen Designs" is a multi-national corporation. They are looking to use virtualization software to help a number of their production phases, and the first step is to adopt two or three tools to test their fit in their various departments. For the adopted tools, they will provide training and make any customization as needed.
The company would like you to create a visualization with all the potential tools and present that to their managers to allow them to quickly find and discuss their favorite tool(s) particular to their situation. Assume that your audience has only a basic familiarity with the features described in the tables (this is more for managers than experts). Use any tool of your choosing and build the final visualization(s). Explain your findings.
