As VMware holds its first ever conference in Europe, the industry looks very different than it did just six short months ago. As I attend the inaugural conference in Cannes France and speak with a range of attendees, it is more clear than ever that customers are aggressively looking for alternatives to the market leader.
Virtual Iron has emerged as a clear and compelling alternative to VMware for server virtualization. A recent eWeek product review of Virtual Iron V4.2 compares the product very favorably to VMWare's most comprehensive offering. In addition, listen to two members of our rapidly growing customer family discuss why they selected Virtual Iron over VMware after a rigorous side-by-side comparison, including:
- Virtual Iron’s ease of installation, deployment and management without compromising capability or performance;
- the rapid provisioning and high availability/automated failover capabilities for their virtual infrastructure;
- the significant and immediate operational and economic benefits they realized after virtualizing their demanding production environments on Virtual Iron.
