Virtualization leader VMware has been a pioneer in both enterprise and SMB virtualization deployments, particularly in server virtualization. In June 2006, VMware launched its VMware Infrastructure 3 bundled solutions, packaging together the company's older and newer product functionality into several easily digestible bundles. This initiative included some entry-level pricing designed to put virtualization in reach of a wider array of enterprises and, notably, SMB customers grappling with various IT management and disaster recovery issues.

This paper profiles the virtualization experience of two VMware SMB-size customers, and provides a window into the 'real-life' impact of virtualization for IT managers juggling the dual priorities of remaining competitive and keeping costs in check.

The Path to Enterprise Desktops: From Personal Computers to Personalized Computing

Since the heyday of centralized computing environments started two decades ago, distributed computing environments have become the norm for virtually all enterprise organizations. Although the benefits are clearly understood, many of the costs associated with this model are increasing substantially as environments scale. To address these concerns, this IDC whitepaper considers the concept of desktop virtualization. Specifically, the benefits and limitations of VMware's VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) and ACE (Assured Computing Environment), as well as user case studies exemplifying best use cases for each.
