Vmware Transcript

I am no financial expert but it appeared that Vmwares licensing revenue dipped quite a bit more than Citrix’s did but their services revenue went up enough to cover the loss in licensing.  This is pretty interesting for partners of both companies.

I am looking forward to what happens in Q3&Q4 with the introduction of XenServer 5.5.  Will it finally be able to erode more of the enterprise server virtualization space?

What really shocked me was the amount of commitments for Citrix XenDesktop, their desktop virtualization platform of over 1000 seats.

Your thoughts?

For those of you that could not make it to Briforum here is the video from the keynote session. Brian runs a killer vendor independent SBC/Virtualization conference once a year. Absolutely worth it if you are hardcore. Way to go Brian!
