In their assessment of solutions for SMBs, Taneja Group said “VMware is not only a safe choice, but also the best choice for SMBs.”
This was because of:
• The reliability, strength and maturity of the VMware vSphere®virtualization platform
• The functional breadth and depth of its software-definedinfrastructure solutions
• Having SMB tools for deploying and managing virtualization
• The seamless and integrated approach that extends on-premisevirtualization to the hybrid cloud
