Global Server Virtualization Software Market is Projected to Reach US$5.60 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (Vocus) June 7, 2010 -- Server virtualization has been for long championing the virtualization drive in Enterprise IT. Against the backdrop of growing clamor for energy saving technologies such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Green IT and Service-oriented architecture (SOA), server virtualization has become a key strategy within the much bigger virtualization portfolio that enables such emerging technologies. Not surprisingly, the last few years have witnessed an increased momentum towards server virtualization.

Growth in the server virtualization software market has traditionally been driven by the need to tap several cost benefits associated with server consolidation. Thanks to server virtualization, IT departments across the world are now able to consolidate multiple servers as virtual machines into a single physical box, and in the process, ensure more effective utilization of available hardware and reduction in the number of physical servers, which automatically generates substantial cost savings. Growth in the Server Virtualization Software market (http://www.strategyr.com/Server_Virtualization_Market_Report.asp) over the next few years will be driven by the growing attention of the enterprise towards achieving key objectives such as ensuring business continuity, reducing unscheduled IT downtimes and enhancing business agility, and waxing popularity of server virtualization software as a key to achieve them. The increased deployment of Cloud Computing strategies will also transform server virtualization into a “default” technology at an enterprise level over the next few years.
