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?
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.
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5% mostly small and outdated companies?
