I'm starting to wonder what is left for VMware to announce at VMworld? RSA integration, Cheaper pricing for SMB's and now news that VMware has acquired Dunes as well....
In September, possible with a launch at VMworld 2007, VMware will announce a new promotion called Foundation, bundling together three ESX Servers Started Edition and one VirtualCenter (capped to manage those three virtualization hosts) for $3,000.
more at source...
And now Aleassandro has broken the news about VMware buying Dunes:
VMware acquired Dunes Technologies?
virtualization.info just received a news from a trusted source revealing VMware has acquired Dunes Technology.
If confirmed VMware achieved two goals: making another step towards virtual datacenter automation, given the great flexibility Dunes VS-O automation framework offers, and further enhancing VDI offering after Propero acquisition (Dunes offers a VDI solution called VD-O since one year).
The acquisition, assuming it's true, is expected to be announced at VMworld.
