VMworld by the numbers
By Nicole Kobie in Editorial

A few quick numbers that have stuck in my head (or been retrieved from my scrawled notes) from the past week at VMware’s VMworld Europe in Cannes.
Third — VMworld Europe is the third largest event by size on the French Riviera, according to the firm’s European manager, second only to the Cannes Film Fest and Monaco Grand Prix.
10 per cent — the number of Windows servers around the world running XenApp, according to Citrix.
70 per cent — the amount of VMware’s business which is from English-language countries, according to new COO Tod Nielsen, who told me the firm wants to get that closer to 50/50.
over 100 — the very vague number of firms currently beta testing vSphere, according to Nielsen. He also described it as “a lot.”
4,700 — the number of attendees, according to VMware’s European manager, up by 200 from last year. Not bad in a recession, and all that.
As of yet unknown — the number of days it will take me to recover from three solid days of having virtualisation crammed into my brain.
