Virtualization yet to make inroads into WAN

VMware Go provides SMBs with an easy on-ramp to virtualizing their applications by automating the installation and configuration of hypervisor, VMware ESXi.

Dan Chu, VP, Emerging Products and Markets, VMware, said: "With VMware Go, we are eliminating the skill barrier for getting started with virtualization, so companies who are concerned about not having the IT resources or expertise, especially SMBs, can now more quickly and easily enjoy the many benefits of virtualization."

"Both VMware Go and VMware ESXi are free offerings that can provide instant cost-savings with improved server utilization, reduced energy use and centralized management of the datacenter so IT can focus more on innovation and less on maintenance," He added.
