Virtualization is being taken up at such a pace that it’s hard to find a metaphor to describe it. “Exploding” has a pieces-coming-apart-at-high-speed vibe, when in fact virtualization’s pieces are all coming together. “Imploding” doesn’t work either. We’ve had maybe five years of fast growth, but now it’s mainstream and ready for the lion’s share of apps. We’ve passed the point where the natural expectation for new servers is that they may be virtualized.
