Industry News

Server virtualization software refers to programs or platforms that enable the creation and management of virtual instances of servers within a physical server environment. This software allows multiple virtual servers to operate on a single physical server, effectively dividing the server's resources and networking and allocating them dynamically to each virtual server as required.

The primary types of server virtualization software include guest operating system (OS) and virtual machine, hypervisor, paravirtualization, and full virtualization. A guest operating system (OS) is an operating system installed and running within a virtual machine environment. This software is deployed through cloud and on-premise modes, utilized by organizations such as small and medium enterprises and large enterprises in sectors such as healthcare, information technology (IT) and telecommunications, government and public sectors, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, and other industries.

The server virtualization software research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides server virtualization software market statistics, including the server virtualization software industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with a server virtualization software market share, detailed server virtualization software market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the server virtualization software industry. This server virtualization software market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The server virtualization software market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.69 billion in 2023 to $9.49 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be credited to cost reduction, enhanced resource utilization, flexibility and agility, disaster recovery capabilities, and support for legacy applications.

The server virtualization software market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.68 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the adoption of subscription-based models, edge-native virtualization solutions, a growing emphasis on developer experience, enhanced automation and self-service capabilities, integration with DevOps toolchains, and the inclusion of regulatory compliance-focused features. Major trends expected during this period include increased adoption of containerization, expansion of edge computing, growth in hybrid cloud usage, handling AI and machine learning workloads, addressing security and compliance requirements, and the continued growth of 5G and IoT technologies.

The server virtualization software market is set to expand due to the growing demand for cloud-based services. Cloud-based services involve accessing computing resources such as storage, processing power, and software applications over the internet rather than locally. This trend is driven by benefits such as scalability, cost-effectiveness, improved collaboration, data security, and accessibility. Server virtualization software plays a vital role in cloud-based services by abstracting physical server resources into multiple virtual instances, enhancing resource utilization and scalability. For instance, Eurostat reported in December 2023 that the adoption rate of cloud computing services among small and medium-sized enterprises increased to 59% in 2023 from 53% in 2021, indicating a significant market shift.

Key players in the server virtualization software market are focused on developing advanced solutions such as enterprise virtualization hypervisors and management platforms to boost business efficiency and scalability. These platforms enable the creation and management of multiple virtual machines on a single physical server, optimizing resource usage. For example, in March 2024, SteelDome Cyber LLC introduced StratiSERV, an enterprise virtualization hypervisor and management platform designed to meet evolving virtualization needs. It offers unparalleled flexibility, scalability, and performance, either independently or alongside SteelDome's enterprise storage platform, StratiSTOR, giving customers comprehensive control and adaptability over their infrastructure.

In November 2023, Broadcom acquired VMware for $69 billion, aiming to provide enterprise customers with more options and flexibility in addressing complex IT infrastructure challenges while accelerating software scale and growth opportunities for Broadcom. VMware, a leading provider of server virtualization and cloud computing software, strengthens Broadcom's market position, enabling them to deliver robust solutions to their clients.
