Virtual Instruments Announces VMworld Survey Results
Virtual Instruments has announced the results of the company's second annual virtualization survey, conducted on-site during
VMworld. According to the company's news release on Market Wire, this year the survey indicated that there was a significant increase over last year in the adoption of virtualization for business-critical applications, and the survey also found adoption of private clouds is becoming mainstream among VMworld attendees.
"Of the respondents, 58% have virtualized 50% or more of their physical servers, compared to 39% in 2009. A corresponding increase in the number of respondents implementing virtualization for business critical applications was not seen, with only 35% of respondents having 50% or more of their business critical applications on virtual servers, compared to 31% of respondents in 2009. Performance concerns were cited as the number one IT reason for not virtualizing more business critical applications. Support of company and senior IT leadership was the primary business-related reason."
