Your guide for virtualization solutions.

IDC has projected worldwide revenue of Virtual Machine Software (VMS) to continue at its rapid pace from a current $1.78B in 2007, which grew 69% from 2006, to an expected worldwide revenue of $5.3B in 2012. This projected proliferation will be accelerated though embedded virtualization hypervisors such as VMware ESXi released in the latest x86 servers from IBM, HP , and SUN, to expansion of virtualization to the desktop as well as the continued market penetration from virtualization software providers such as VMware, Microsoft, Virtual Iron and Citrix.

Though the vast majority of the recent growth has been attributed to consolidation of servers, expansion of the virtualization offering is continuing to trend forward and upward the solution stack to what IDC has defined as Virtualization 2.0-3.0.

    These solution areas include:

  • Desktop and client consolidation

  • Storage virtualization

  • Business Continuity for virtualized datacenters

  • Security of virtual machines and applications

  • Management and Optimization of virtual environments

  • Application Virtualization
