ITJungle is running an article that asks the question, “Is the Adoption Rate of Server Virtualization Technology Over Estimated”
According to the survey respondents, 720 of the 808 companies that participated in the CA-commissioned server virtualization study said that they had either deployed virtualization technologies or planned to do so within the next 18 months, with the remaining 92 saying that they would not. That is an 89 percent penetration rate. So server virtualization is pervasive, right? Maybe not. The Strategic Counsel was honest that it threw out 946 other people who responded to the survey because they did not agree that operating system, hardware virtualization, hard partitions (logical or virtual), or clustering were kinds of server virtualization. When you throw the companies back into the pool who obviously have no idea what server virtualization is–even though it is probably a feature on their servers even if they don’t know about it–then the adoption rate for server virtualization technologies among fairly large organizations is a mere 39 percent.
Another quote seems quite surprising.
Microsoft VS 2005 is the big winner in this poll, with 82 percent of those polled saying they have or will deploy it
82 percent for Microsoft Virtual Server? Wouldn’t have expected that.
