Virtualization means big business
Mar 1st, 2007 by Pete Manca
If you’re like me and you’re watching the back and forth between VMware and Microsoft regarding Windows on VMware ESX, you’re probably thinking the same thing I am…Virtualization is Big Business! You know it’s only going to get uglier between these two…and more interesting for those of us smack in the middle of the food fight.
No longer is virtualization a niche technology on the bleeding edge…It’s a multi-billion dollar business that everyone wants in on. The business value is quantifiable and clearly, vendors see enough money to want to fight over control. Really, this is just the beginning. Virtualization is here to stay and it will continue to play a more dominant role in the future data center, which can only result in more vendor posturing.
Let the games begin!
