ESX For Free!!
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008Virtualization.info reported today that VMware will give ESXi away completely free.
I have no idea how much revenue was brought in by ESXi, but I’d imagine compared to ESX proper it was a small proportion. Nonetheless it is going to be a big shot in the arm for virtualisation proliferation.
A great move I think, as it will cause Microsoft a little concern that companies will use this as a shoe in to a far superior product.
It’s not free yet, but should be at the end of the month, according to virtualization.info.
