VMware Continues as Leading In Use and In Plan Virtualization Provider. As Spending Growth Moderates, an Untapped Virtualization Market Could See Shifts in Leading Providers by 2010
Eighty-eight percent (88%) of large organizations indicate that they are not even considering switching from VMware to another provider.
NEW YORK, NY, July 31, 2008 – TheInfoPro (TIP), www.theinfopro.$ST_net, an independent research network and leading supplier of market intelligence for the Information Technology (IT) industry, today announced that VMware is entrenched as the lead virtualization provider throughout the remainder of 2008. In addition, 49% of VMware customers report that it would be hard to switch to another vendor because of the time and money that has been invested not only in the product, but in the tools and training as well.

Additional key findings on the state of the virtualization market include:
Nearly 40% of respondents report that consolidating physical servers for cost reduction is the key driver of virtualization in their enterprise, while another 25% cited consolidating physical servers for reduction of the data center footprint as key.
Forty percent (40%) of organizations interviewed report that today’s key goal for virtualization is reducing the number of currently existing physical servers. However, the key goals cited for virtualization in 2010 are dynamic provisioning and disaster recovery.
Server decision-makers’ greatest concern regarding server virtualization continues to be performance under load. The majority of them have yet to determine how performance will be affected by overhead of virtualization software, in addition to the added load of sharing a physical box with other applications.
Despite the large percentage of users planning and investigating virtualization, the market is still very much untapped. Nearly 40% state that less than 5% of their servers host virtualization today, but only 15% report that less than 5% of all new servers in 2008 will host virtualization. By 2010, 70% of organizations believe that over 50% of all new servers deployed will host virtualization.
Virtualization software providers* cited as being in use or in plan include: 4Base Technology, Avocent, Archstone Consulting, BMC Software, Brocade, Chip PC, CiRBA, Citrix, Compellent, DirectAdmin, Enigmatec, HP, IBM, Leostream, Lex Systems, Microsoft, NetApp, Novell, Parallels, PerfMan, Red Hat, Sun, Symantec, TeamQuest, UltraBac, Vizioncore, VMware, and Wyse Technology
*Software providers being listed cover a variety of virtualization technologies including: Virtualization movement and deployment utilities, virtualization planning and configuration utilities, virtual machine software for mid-tier / application servers, virtual machine software for edge / web servers, desktop virtualization services and OS-based virtualization services.
