Windows Server 2008 introduces a new native virtualization platform called Hyper-V. Hyper-V utilizes hardware-assisted virtualization and provides strong isolation between virtual machines and the host operating system. Microsoft also offers System Center virtualization management products that provide centralized management and monitoring of virtual machines. While virtualization adoption remains relatively low, Microsoft estimates around 17% of servers will be virtualized by 2010, representing significant growth and opportunity in the virtualization market.

5. Virtualization Market TodayComputerworld“Although virtualization has been the buzz among technology providers, only 6% of enterprises have actually deployed virtualization on their networks, said Levine, citing a TWP Research report. That makes the other 94% a wide-open market.”The Rise of the Virtual Machine and the Real Impact It Will Have“We calculate that roughly 6% of new servers sold last year were virtualized and project that 7% of those sold this year will be virtualized and believe that less than 4% of the X86 server installed base has been virtualized to date.

6. Virtualization 2010Information Week Oct. 2007“The [virtualization field] is nowhere near saturated. IDC estimates that only 17% of the worldwide server market will be virtualized by 2010, up from 5% in 2005.”

Hot off the PresseWEEK Labs Tests Windows Server 2008 Virtualization“Along with the Release Candidate 0 build of Windows 2008 that Microsoft recently released came the debut public appearance of Microsoft's Windows Hypervisor, once known by the code name Viridian. Based on eWEEK Labs' early tests of the RC0 code, Microsoft's VMware challenger appears to be off to a good start.”Source: http://www.eweek.com/slideshow/0,1206,a=215966,00.asp
