With VMware vSphere 5, VMware has raised the bar again, with improvements to existing features such as 32-way vSMP and increased I/O performance and additions of brand new, industry-first capabilities such as Profile Driven Storage, Storage DRS and vSphere Auto Deploy that competing solutions just cannot match. Independent industry experts agree that vSphere 4 had “ at least a 5 year pure technology lead” over competing virtualization platforms and with the release of vSphere 5, that gap widens even further.

VMware is the proven choice for virtualization from the desktop through the datacenter to the cloud. More than 250,000 customers of all sizes, including all the Fortune 100, have chosen VMware as their virtualization infrastructure platform. VMware customers report rapid return on investment (ROI)-typically within 6-9 months. More than 94% of VMware vSphere customers use it in production environments.

Industry analysts also agree that VMware leads the virtualization and cloud platform market.  In fact, Gartner has placed VMware in the leaders quadrant of their x86 Virtualization Magic Quadrant report – the only vendor to receive that ranking each year the Magic Quadrant has been published.

" Gartner says “Hyper-V is Underperforming” “ Hyper-V is under-performing. Maybe my expectations were too high, but Hyper-V has not grabbed as much market share as I was predicting. I especially thought that Microsoft would be the big beneficiary of midmarket virtualization. Surveys show otherwise – VMware is doing pretty well there” "
