Indian Enterprises Are Increasingly Adopting Server Virtualization: Study

Posted on June, Saturday 25, 2011 By itVAR News Network

Symantec Corp. has announced the India  findings of its 2011 Virtualization and Evolution to the Cloud Survey which examined how organizations plan to move 
business-critical initiatives to virtual and hybrid cloud computing environments. 

The survey highlighted topics including server, client, and storage virtualization, storage-as-a-service, and hybrid/private cloud technologies; and the results uncover 

disparities between expectations and reality as enterprises deploy these solutions. CEOs and CFOs are concerned with moving business-critical applications into virtual or 

cloud environments due to challenges including reliability, security, availability and performance. 
 
 “Indian enterprises are discussing virtualization and private/hybrid clouds. While agility and affordability are the main drivers, having fewer legacy systems is helping this 

transition,” said Vijay Mhaskar, vice president, Information Management Group, Symantec.
 
Gaps Between Expectations and Reality Reveal Market EvolutionAdoption of server virtualization is widespread, with 57 percent of Indian firms implementing server 

virtualization versus just 45 percent globally. One-third of those surveyed, are in the discussing/planning stage for private and hybrid cloud deployments. 
 
Of the technologies evaluated in the survey, server and storage virtualization are the most mature with 31 and 26 percent of enterprises implementing. Private 

Storage-as-a-Service is the least mature with 21 percent adopting.  
 
 Early investments have revealed gaps between expectations and reality which indicate that organizations are still learning what these technologies are capable of and how 

to overcome the new challenges they bring with them, said the study.
