Industry Recognition for VMware
The reliability of VMware products and VMware’s overall leadership is being recognized by press and analysts alike.
Among the hundreds of awards given to VMware products over the past several years, one stands out regarding reliability. Redmond Magazine recently awarded VMware ESX the top spot in the “most reliable” category of its 2008 Editors’ Choice Awards for all IT products.

“The least stable part of ESX is usually the administrator. The code is virtually bomb-proof.”
Also, a recent Taneja Group report also espoused the reliability of VMware ESX/ESXi:
- Taneja Group: Architectural Requirements for a Datacenter-Ready Virtualization Platform
“Of all the OS and hardware based virtualization platforms that are currently competing for end user attention and investment, the VMware hypervisor architecture comes the closest to meeting the standards for data center readiness. VMware ESX Server 3i aspires to deliver the reliability, security and performance of native hardware, which makes it a compelling choice for enterprise use.”
Independent press and bloggers are also reporting on VMware’s leadership and advantages:
- eWeek (6.7.09): VMware vSphere 4 Raises the Virtualization Bar
“These new capabilities place vSphere 4 well ahead of Microsoft's Hyper-V platform and open-source projects based on the Xen hypervisor, and earn the new VMware platform an eWEEK Labs Analyst's Choice award.” - InfoWorld (5.21.09) VMware vSphere 4: The once and future virtualization king
"… I can say that my brief experience with vSphere has been positive, and the features offered are taking things to the next level. They also would seem to highlight just how far behind VMware's competitors really are." - SearchServerVirtualization (5.21.09) Virtualization Users Remain True-Blue VMware Adherents
"VMware still reigns supreme for veteran virtualization users, who say Hyper-V is far from being a strong option in heterogeneous data centers and question XenServer's long-term viability.” - CIO.com (3.26.09) VMware Bucks Microsoft's Cheaper is Better Mantra
“Physical hosts running VMware software can pack in 1.5 VMs for every 1 VM on a Microsoft Hyper-V server, according to the [Taneja Group] report. Comparing costs based on the number of VMs a host can support, Taneja Group concluded VMware is actually cheaper by between five percent and 29 percent than Hyper-V.” - SearchServerVirtualization (2.26.09) VMware outshines Hyper-V, et al. in hypervisor comparison
