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.
