More companies will adopt service-oriented architecture (SOA) initiatives and agile practices in 2011, and are more likely to virtualize their apps than move them to the cloud - these are the key findings of "Apps on the Move," a recent survey of application performance management (APM) done by APM vendor AppDynamics.

Forty-nine percent of respondents said they expect to ramp up agile development next year, and 66 percent said they expect to leverage additional SOA initiatives for mission-critical apps.

At the same time, 74 percent of respondents characterized their existing architectures as distributed or SOA.
