In order to assess the current state of the server virtualization market, ESG recently surveyed 463 North America-based senior IT professionals representing large midmarket (500 to 999 employees) and enterprise-class (1,000 employees or more) organizations. All respondents were personally responsible for managing or overseeing IT products, services, and strategies and their organizations had to be current users of server virtualization technology. Additionally, respondents were required to have in-depth knowledge of at least one virtualization adjacent technology area—including server, storage, and networking infrastructure; information security; or business applications—in the context of server virtualization technology.
