VMworld Europe 2009 roundup
By IT PRO staff,
Virtualisation was big news before the economy fell apart and the environment became a top issue. Now, as firms look to cut costs and increase their green credentials, the technlogy is moving out of “buzz word” territory and into IT departments as a serious component of any firm’s infrastructure.
This week in Cannes, France, the virtualisation world is gathering for VMworld Europe 2009 – the continental version of VMware’s annual conference. While that firm remains the clear leader in the market, rivals like Microsoft are increasing the pressure and smaller firms are continuing to innovate.
IT PRO is on the ground in Cannes, bringing you all the news and opinions from the show. Bookmark this page and come back during the week for the latest updates, and for some background check out our coverage of last autumn's VMworld show held in Las Vegas.
