Update June 2010: New video covering the updated version of VMware Go is now available — Click here to watch the new video now!
At VMworld 2009, VMware announced a new free solution to help SMBs get started with virtualization called VMware Go. In partnership with Shavlik, VMware Go is a free web-based service that allows Admins to:
- Download ESXi for free
- Burn it to a DVD
- Evaluate existing hardware to see if it is compatible with ESXi
- Install and Configure ESXi
- Convert existing physical servers to virtual (P2V), create a new VM, or download virtual appliances
- Finally, to manage those ESXi servers or VMs and report on the vitual infrastructure
In my video, I walk you though all of these things step-by-step. VMware Go is a powerful new (and completely free) product from VMware that is going to go a long way in helping SMBs to move to virtualization.
To try VMware Go for yourself, visit the VMware ESXi & VMware Go website.
