SMB Virtualization
The basic value proposition of virtualization is the same for an SMB as it is for a larger enterprise. An SMB is just as likely to deploy virtualization to consolidate servers, improve server utilization, improve disaster recovery, consolidate legacy applications and reduce server provisioning time. The SMB experiences the same type of benefits such as reduced cost of hardware, energy, space requirements and provisioning.
VMware has just released 3 new bundles specifically targeted to the SMB market. According to industry analyst firm the Yankee Group, virtualization deployments among SMBs is expected to double during the next two years. VMware is positioned to capture this growth with their free product VMware Server and now offering three competitively priced bundles.
