Virtualization Survey

Are you devoted to virtualization?  Are you avoiding it like the plague?  Or somewhere in the middle?

Jay Grieves, the author of Big Swinging Developer and one of the uber-cool Houstonians I met back at the Caroline Collective, emailed me about doing a survey to find out some truths from people who’ve been managing large servers like SQL Server, data warehouses, Exchange and so on.  Everybody focuses on performance, but if you set that aside, how’s the experience going?

The survey’s around 20 questions long, takes about 5-10 minutes, and you should take it regardless of whether you’re using virtualization or not.  If you’re reading this blog, you’re the target audience.  You can take the survey now without giving us a shred of personal information.

After the results are in, Jay will post some of the results (participants can get the full report) and we’ll talk about the reasoning behind the original set of questions.

    Did you ever get the results together?

      No, sadly, I haven’t been able to get the time to pull that together, unfortunately! Sorry about that.
