VMware is Out: What Alternatives Are There?

Send us a text

As we say a sad goodbye to VMware, we discuss the realistic hypervisor alternatives for businesses and their pros and cons. Hyper-V, XenServer, and VMware, wait what I thought it was alternatives to Broadcoms latest cash cow!? For better or worse, sticking with the top performer might be your best choice.

All that and more in this episode of Experts in Polo Shirts with Synextra Consultant Matt Dyson, and Host Michael Clegg.
