KVM is a pretty minor player
Depends on the use case - they aren't minor if you consider worldwide OpenStack Deployments today and its rate of growth. Ref: http://www.slideshare.net/ryan-lane/openstack-atlanta-user-survey
I never said that, perhaps it was a misquote?
That's odd. I wonder how it did that.

shalooshalini quoted alexntg's post, then accidentally delete to much, which made it appear that alexntg said it.
The way quotes work in this system.. these kinds of mistakes are bound to happen a lot more as this community grows.

I find it is easy to do that when editing from a phone.
Same problem with quoting at that other community too.

eh? the other community uses orange boxes when quoting (at least on the desktop).

Yes but they get messed up just the same. I have to blow away a quote and start over all the time because of that.
And half the time your cursor breaks and it puts your response into the quote with no way to stop it. This is far very, IMHO. Obvious, simple and no catches.

Far very? I'm guessing you've been on your phone most of today
I agree the orange boxes break easily, but when you're looking at them while editing them you know it's broken before you post.. with ML's system until you learn it.. it's easy to be broken and not realize it.

@Dashrender Yes, I'm exclusively on iPhone except for at night.

What about the big there platforms.... vSphere, HyperV and XenServer. KVM is a pretty minor player and bare metal Windows and Linux are rare today.
Regarding Linux, especially Ubuntu and RHEL servers - are those rare too, these days?

@Dashrender :-), oops! I think its my mistake. Until that particular response I had not 'noticed' the 'Quote' feature and used copy paste which may have resulted in this goof-up.

You are asking the wrong question. You are asking him if they are big platforms, but you mean to ask if they are rare on bare metal and the answer is.... absolutely. They should be unheard of on bare metal. This is 2014, we are over half a decade since OS on bare metal is a niche use case.

There are of course, small companies that are so out of date that they haven't virtualized yet and a few that don't understand virtualization - but neither of those cases are companies that would ever buy caching.

I meant 'rare' as in 'hardly anyone uses non-virtualized Linux servers these days'
During early virtualization and 'cloud' days, many of the traditional IO heavy workloads did not move into virtual environments or on cloud due to latency issues. Now with standard cloud instance plans and hosted server plans increasingly available with 'SSD storage' that scenario for IO heavy workloads in Linux may have changed - in general. But are there say 20% of servers running Linux which are not virtualized today?Or is it <5% mostly small and outdated companies?
