Bolstered by the June launch of its Hyper-V virtualization software , Microsoft grabbed nearly a quarter of the fast-growing x86 server virtualization market in the second quarter, IDC said Thursday.
Parallels' Virtuozzo ranks second by revenue behind VMware , and third in terms of license shipments, Waldman said.
"XenSource has seen some momentum under the stewardship of Citrix in the last year. However, in terms on virtualized licenses, they are still rather small," Waldmain said.
Overall, the server virtualization market slowed again for the fourth quarter in a row, though sales overall are still growing, says IDC.
