And, now, it looks ready to burst next year. "[Virtualization] was once relegated to high-end mainframe environments, but virtualized deployments are now available across every level of IT, most notably in the x86-based solutions that constitute the largest volume of server sales," said Pund-IT Research principal analyst Charles King.
