revealed that it has been
positioned by Gartner, in the 'Leaders' quadrant of the 'Magic
Quadrant' for x86 Server Virtualization Infrastructure.

According to the report, the x86 Server
Virtualization Infrastructure market is a foundation for two
extremely important market trends, which are infrastructure
modernization and cloud computing.

Moreover, virtualization is enabling a
fundamental change in how enterprises manage, deploy and deliver IT.
x86 architecture server virtualization is now considered a mainstream
trend (roughly 25 percent of the market is penetrated), and the
strategic path from server virtualization to cloud computing is
becoming more apparent to enterprises.

"VMware has helped thousands of
customers reduce IT complexity to achieve new levels of efficiency,
service and value,” said Rick Jackson, Chief Marketing Officer,
VMware. He further added, “We believe our position as a leader
reflects this success, reinforces our belief that virtualization is
central to next-generation IT strategy, and recognizes our vision for
delivering a clear and compelling path to cloud computing.”
