Datacenter Today–Limited Virtualization
Tomorrow . . .
“Greater than 17% of servers will be virtualized by 2010.” IDC, 2007
Today . . .
Fewer than 10% of servers that use Intel and AMD's x86 chips—the fastest-growing part of the server market—use virtual machines, leaving lots of room for growth.” David Goulden, CFO, EMC, February 2007
