Server virtualization has stalled, despite the hype
31 December 2010, 5:00 am

Four years ago, data center server utilization was just 18 percent. To put it another way, on average 82 percent of the server capacity in major data centers was underutilized. Given all of the emphasis on server virtualization in the last few years, you'd expect utilization to have increased sharply. But it hasn't. According to Gartner research, overall utilization is still at 18 percent -- and utilization of x86 servers is one-third lower at 12 percent.
