" VMware is by far, not even remotely close, the most widely deployed hypervisor in the mid to large enterprise market segment"
Citation? Depending on how you count AWS, I'd say Xen is much larger than VMware.

- tw04 11y agoAWS is a service provider. I specifically said mid to large enterprise segment. Since IDC tends not to give their reports away the only thing "public" I can find in a quick search: http://www.bobsguide.com/guide/news/2014/Apr/4/server-virtualization-continues-to-grow-in-emea-but-mega-datacenters-are-changing-the-game.html http://www.bobsguide.com/guide/news/2014/Apr/4/server-virtua... As for my anecdote: out of the 20 fortune 500 companies I work with, the Xen/KVM market share is literally under 1%. Not a single deployed instance beyond a couple corner cases of Citrix for small VDI workloads. There are a few looking at openstack, but they're still science experiments at this point, and not their production enterprise deployments.
