Robin Systems has released the results of a new survey which found strong interest in containerization technology. Of the 200 IT decision makers surveyed, 78.5 expressed interest in running stateful applications such as databases within containers, and 81 percent said they expect their organizations to increase their investment in container technology.
“The drivers cited for this trend were not surprising,” said Sushil Kumar, chief marketing officer for Robin Systems. “Respondents pointed to the ability to consolidate workload–without losing performance or predictability–and to reduce performance ahead, as compared to hypervisors-based virtualization, as leading factors prompting greater adoption of containers.”
