Virtual Infrastructure Manager Market Report 2026

The virtual infrastructure manager market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.7 billion in 2025 to $5.59 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing enterprise virtualization adoption, expansion of data center infrastructure, rising reliance on virtual machines, increasing use of centralized IT management tools, growth of cloud computing adoption.

The virtual infrastructure manager market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.42 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing migration to hybrid cloud architectures, rising demand for scalable IT infrastructure, expansion of edge computing environments, growing focus on cost-efficient infrastructure utilization, increasing adoption of software-defined data centers. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of cloud-native infrastructure management, rising integration of AI-based resource optimization, growing demand for hybrid and multi-cloud management, expansion of automated infrastructure orchestration, enhanced focus on infrastructure security and compliance.

The growing adoption of cloud computing is expected to drive the growth of the virtual infrastructure manager market in the coming years. Cloud computing refers to the provision of computing services over the internet, including storage, processing power, and applications, offered on a pay-as-you-go basis. The increasing use of cloud computing is fueled by its scalability, cost-effectiveness, and ability to enhance business agility and innovation. Cloud computing allows a virtual infrastructure manager to efficiently allocate, manage, and optimize virtual resources and services across a network. For example, in December 2023, the European Commission, a UK-based government body, reported that in 2023, the proportion of EU enterprises purchasing cloud computing services increased by 4.2 percentage points. Thus, the growing implementation of cloud computing is contributing to the expansion of the virtual infrastructure manager market.

Leading companies in the virtual infrastructure manager sector are innovating with hybrid cloud solutions, combining on-premises infrastructure with public and private cloud services. This integration enables greater flexibility and scalability, facilitating seamless data and application management across environments. For instance, NetApp Inc. launched a bundled virtualization solution in November 2023 aimed at small and medium businesses. This solution integrates VMware vSphere 8, Fujitsu PRIMERGY Servers, and NetApp all-flash storage systems with ONTAP integration, providing a cost-effective platform for transitioning workloads between on-premises and public clouds.

In November 2023, Broadcom Inc. acquired VMware Inc. for $61 billion. Broadcom plans to leverage VMware Cloud Foundation to strengthen its enterprise cloud infrastructure strategy, supporting businesses in building and modernizing private and hybrid cloud environments. VMware Inc. specializes in cloud computing and virtual infrastructure management, aligning with Broadcom's strategic expansion goals.

A virtual infrastructure manager (VIM) is a software tool responsible for overseeing and coordinating virtualized resources within a data center, including virtual machines, storage, and networks. Its primary function is to efficiently allocate, monitor, and optimize these resources, ensuring agility and scalability in cloud computing environments.

The core offerings of a virtual infrastructure manager encompass both solutions and services. A VIM solution is software designed to centrally manage and optimize virtualized resources such as servers, storage, and networks in cloud or data center settings. These solutions can be deployed on-premises, as part of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), or in cloud-based environments. They cater to diverse end-users across industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, retail, telecom, and others.

The virtual infrastructure manager market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing services such as software licensing, cloud services, consulting, implementation, and integration services. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
