To wrap up my blogging from VMworld, here’re some of the numbers being tossed around the conference…
Three - the number of years Microsoft’s virtualisation tech is behind, according to VMware CEO Paul Maritz.
16 - the percentage of servers that are now virtualised, according to COO Tod Nielsen.
$29.99 - the cost to download Wyse’s PocketCloud, to get your Windows desktop on your iPhone.
30 - the number of Fortune 1000 companies which don’t use VMware software in anyway. So the other 970 do.
74 - the number of marriages saved by IT pros using vMotion, with the time savings letting them go home to their spouses , according to letters sent to CTO Stephen Herrod.
12,488 - the number of attendees at this year’s VMworld. Down from last year, but hey, there’s still a recession in the US.
357,151 - the number of customers who have downloaded vSphere 4 since its launch 12 weeks ago.
500,000 - the number of customers using the free ESX hypervisor.
Don’t want to know - weight gained surviving off of Pepsi and cookies in the press lounge.
