I have my own doubts and opinions on how IDC came up with that figure and
what actually accounts for a "real sell on virtualization" against a "mere
add-on" which is barely used by those freebie collectors.
My detailed analysis will come when I'll find that IDC contact and drill
him/her on how they came to that figure.
For now Mike did some hardwork to look back at those figures:
As with most analyst reports this one was sponsored. IDC won't give up the
name of who actually sponsored it but I can tell you it wasn't VMware and the
ones that did sponsor it are a competitor in Redmond. That's just fine that
people sponsor reports and I would have no issue with it as long as the
information was accurate. When the firm putting out the report just publishes
inaccurate or incomplete date then they look as foolish as Forrester did when
they wrote about Open Source adoption. I'... (more)
Lots of people contacted me lately about my previous article about my
Poweredge T105 running VMware ESXi. Most of them were concerned about the
system being able to run ESXi properly. It seems that a lot of people have
posted items on their Blog or in a Forum about the difficulties they
experienced running ESX on a Poweredge T105.
Am I lucky? I'm not sure, the one thing I do know is that I have it running
for a couple of months now.
An issue I can confirm is that you have to have a certain buildnumber (or
above) to get it running, i.e. one of the earlier versions of ESXi did not
run properly as stated in one of my earlier posts. When the T105 came to the
market the version of ESXi available at that time, did not recognize most of
the hardware that's inside the T105 (broadcom nic, SATA controller etc.).
The version of ESXi(3.5.0 build-110271) I use does not have any d... (more)
