A depressed economy has done little to stifle the uptake of virtualisation in Australia, according to a new report from IDC.
In the report titled, Datacentres and Virtualisation: What is the Market Thinking?, IDC looks at what drove the market to adopt virtualisation, the current situation and the future outlook for the technology and the Australian marketplace.
Australia has the fastest uptake and penetration of server virtualisation in the Asia-Pacific region. Initial uptake of the technology was centred around server and operating system consolidation, however, many businesses are deploying virtualisation in more sophisticated roles such as desktop virtualisation, business continuity and disaster recovery. More recently this has extended to dynamic IT and internal cloud computing.
