Virtualization Technologies
Leaders :
Microsoft and VMware remain in the Leaders quadrant in 2015.
While VMware retains dominant market share, the gap between
Microsoft and VMware is slowly decreasing due to a growing market
interest in comparing alternatives, price differences and cloud
computing.
Challengers :
Challengers in this market have a strong Ability to Execute but have
a more focused marketing or product vision. In 2015, there are no
clear challengers in this market against Microsoft and VMware.
Visionaries :
At this point in the x86 server virtualization infrastructure market,
there are no Visionaries that are not also executing well. However,
future visionaries may emerge based on evolving strategies to
support lightweight VMs and containers.
Niche players :
Oracle has moved into the Niche Players quadrant based on success
limited to an Oracle-only stack and the fact that there is little
market synergy between Oracle VM and Oracle Solaris Zones. Odin
and Red Hat remain Niche Players in this market. it is clear Citrix is
no longer investing to keep up with market leaders VMware and
Microsoft at least for traditional server virtualization in the data
center. Instead, it is focusing on making XenServer an attractive
hypervisor for cloud infrastructure and for desktop virtualization .

Vmware
VMware has maintained its functionality lead, introducing
vSphere 5.5 in September 2013. VMware continues to have
dominant market share, and customers remain very satisfied
with product capabilities and vendor support. However, client
inquiries have been significantly increasing about
comparisons between VMware and Hyper-V, specifically.
While few large enterprises are switching, some smaller
enterprises that are not far along in their virtualization
deployment are switching (often from VMware to Hyper-V)

Citrix XenServer
In recent years, Citrix has executed a number of fundamental
changes that refocus and reposition XenServer as a platform for
cloud infrastructures and desktop virtualization more than data
center use. The success of CloudPlatform or XenDesktop/XenApp is
less reliant on the success of XenServer; however, as a core
underlying virtualization technology for these products, XenServer
can potentially help accelerate Citrix's success in both areas, and
enterprises can rely on Citrix to maintain investments in XenServer
that specifically help their CloudPlatform or XenDesktop businesses.
