Twice as many Australian businesses are using virtualization than the rest of the world, according to analysts, reports Techworld. Gartner says between 8 and 9 % of medium to enterprise businesses are virtualizing their x86 servers, while global uptake remains at about 4 to 5 %.
Gartner’s servers and storage VP Phil Sargeant added that the figures, derived from research into organizational IT maturity, show Australians are spearheading virtualization uptake.
According to Unisys, the figure is even higher, since the 8 to 9 % adoption includes only virtualized systems in production.
