业界哪些第三方报告最公正、可信和具有说服力？Gartner是其中之一，IDC也是。就在上个月的27日，IDC发布了桌面虚拟化领域的一个公开测评报告，报告包含了业界最有名的Citrix XenDesktop桌面虚拟化，也有其他友商，包括VMware View、Desktone、Kaviza（已被Citrix收购）、Microsoft、MokaFive、Unidesk、Quest Software、Red Hat、Unidesk等等。

还是让我们先看看最后的象限图吧：

 

下面是IDC的评论：

Among the vendors evaluated in the report, IDC placed just one – Citrix – in the "Leaders" category. Citrix was recognized for its comprehensive set of technologies and a firm strategic grip on where it wants to take its product lineup. IDC placed seven vendors in the "Major Players" category – Desktone, Kaviza, Microsoft, MokaFive, Quest Software, Virtual Bridges, and VMware. These vendors all have strong capabilities and good prospects for long-term success in the desktop virtualization market. The vendors that were placed in the "Contenders" category were Red Hat, Unidesk, Virtual Computer, and Wanova.

在所有的厂商中，IDC把Citrix放入“领导者”象限，而且是这个象限的唯一一家公司。这是因为Citrix具有完整的虚拟化技术和是真正可以给客户提供虚拟化产品的公司。

在“主要竞争者”象限中有 Desktone, Kaviza, Microsoft, MokaFive, Quest Software, Virtual Bridges, 和VMware。

 

V5，XenDesktop！
