  <title>fun with polls and statistics</title>

  <description>At the end of last year, we conducted a poll on the openvz.org web site. For about 4 weeks the poll was online, and more than 1300 people voted. While it is offline now, you can still &lt;a href=&quot;http://openvz.org/which-virtualization/plonepopoll_results&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;see the results here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question was: &quot;Which virtualization solutions are you using, or plan to use&quot;, and the top three answers were: &lt;b&gt;VMware&lt;/b&gt; (580 votes), &lt;b&gt;Xen&lt;/b&gt; (504 votes) and &lt;b&gt;OpenVZ&lt;/b&gt; (502 votes). Those are the big guys. The medium guys are: &lt;b&gt;Linux-VServer&lt;/b&gt; (165 votes), &lt;b&gt;Virtuozzo&lt;/b&gt; (145 votes) and &lt;b&gt;QEmu&lt;/b&gt; (148 votes). All the others are below the 5 percent barrier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://openvz.org/which-virtualization/plonepopoll_results&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The results&lt;/a&gt; are not shocking. VMware is the clear leader, Xen is a recognizable name in virtualization, and OpenVZ is high because it&apos;s OpenVZ site. QEmu is somewhat popular among Linux geeks, as well as Linux-VServer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the same time, a German Linux portal ran a poll similar to this. The only difference was that they allowed only a single answer, while our poll allowed a few. No, you don&apos;t have to know German to read &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.heise.de/ix/umfrage/archiv.shtml&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;its results&lt;/a&gt;. VMware accounts for 60% (perhaps because only a single option was allowed), Xen goes next with 15%, OpenVZ is number three with 7%. I&apos;m glad to see we are among the top three.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fun thing in that poll is something called &quot;Virtual Server&quot; is number four. Hmm...I find that name too generic -- it could be M*crosoft Virtual Server, or Linux-Vserver, or something else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, I think it&apos;s a fun thing to run a poll, so here&apos;s one another poll for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.livejournal.com/poll/?id=943152&quot;&gt;View Poll: containers vs. hypervisor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
