Virtual Iron launched a new research survey this week aimed at defining the IT infrastructure needs of hosted service providers and the role of server virtualization in reducing their data center operational costs, increasing management flexibility and improving service levels. The brief survey is available here. All respondents will be automatically entered in a drawing for a new Apple iPhone.

Respondents should be involved with at least one of the following business types:

- Website hosting
- Application hosting, software as a service
- Outsourced servers (shared or dedicated environments)

We will publish the findings of the survey results and make them available on our website,
