Virtualization Daily

Or so they claim.

Operating system virtualization software Virtuozzo from SWsoft is growing fastest among all vendors — 98 percent — in the hot overall market for virtualization technology, according to industry analyst firm IDC. The worldwide industry sales of virtualization software experienced a 67 percent growth rate from 2004 to 2005 – with revenues topping $560 million.

What’s more interesting though is this statement

According to IDC, the virtualization market is expected to grow to $15 billion worldwide by 2009.

From $560 million to $15 billion in 4 years? That’s huge growth. I’ve never put much stock in what firms like IDC say though, hopefully this time they’ll actually be close to correct, would be very, very nice.
