Esxi = free Vmware server = free
Im not against MS in any way shape or form, they will end up with a good product and will likely be adopted by a lot of people. I think they have a pretty big battle on their hands here because it will take a lot of people to switch, a game changer if you will. There is definitely growth in the virtual market place. Vmware has all of fortune 500 and such so it would be interesting to see what people do to switch out their existing infrastructure. I know it will be done, but how many remains to be seen. In comparison to Novell and other technologies there comes a time when you upgrade equipment that you can review new o/ses with more functions. It remains to be seen what those 'functions' will be coming down the road in the virtual market. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
