VMware returns to smaller servers with vSphere Express
VMware released vSphere Express, a virtualization product for systems with as many as 128 processor cores. The company said it had listened to lower-end customers and would sell the product through distributor marketplaces. The launch marked a return to smaller deployments after pricing and licensing changes had strained customer trust.
Why it matters
A lower-end offering could give smaller organizations a more practical VMware option and help the company repair customer relationships.
