VMware vSphere 4 Has Arrived

More than ten years ago VMware pioneered the industry of virtualization with server consolidation and virtualization for x86 systems. Today cloud computing and virtualization are popular buzzwords and there are many competitors who have jumped on the bandwagon.

VMware is continuing to lead the revolution in the datacenter with the launch of vSphere 4. VMware vSphere 4 is the industry’s first cloud operating system, transforming datacenters into dramatically simplified environments to enable the next generation of flexible, reliable IT services. Perhaps even more important than the innovative new customer features are the ways vSphere will help enable selling opportunities for our partners to penetrate new markets, provide enhanced business solutions, and earn greater margins.
