Our future
VMware believes that the addressable market opportunity for its virtualization solutions is large and expanding. IDC estimates that less than one million of the 25+ million x86 servers and less than five million of the 500+ million business client PCs deployed worldwide are running virtualization software. VMware believes industry trends toward more powerful yet underutilized multi-core servers and the increasing complexity of managing desktop environments will further accelerate the widespread adoption of virtualization for both server and desktop deployments.
