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.
