TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global x86 Server Virtualization Infrastructure Market: Citrix Systems Inc., Microsoft Corp., Oracle Corp., and VMware Inc.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Data Center team said: ”The Global X86 Server Virtualization Infrastructure market is witnessing the introduction of various pricing models being introduced which is increasing the competition among the vendors. Traditionally, vendors used to provide hypervisors at a high price but more recently a number of vendors are providing free hypervisors to increase their market presence and share. The basis for pricing is also changing as some of the vendors are charging based on the underlying hardware, whereas others are pricing the solutions based on the memory space being consumed. These variations in pricing models are creating ripples in the market and leading to complex pricing methodologies.”
According to the report, a virtualized infrastructure provides the flexibility to deploy multiple platforms on a single infrastructure. The deployed platforms function independently of the underlying hardware infrastructure which adds to the productivity of the enterprise infrastructure.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the growing concern for application reliability. Also, the end-users have to be educated on the various aspects associated with the virtualized infrastructure. There is a need for capacity management techniques to be incorporated as a part of the solution which will further increase the productivity of the network.
The report also includes a discussion of the other vendors operating in this market. The other vendors in the market are Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp., Parallels Inc., and Red Hat Inc.
