Virtual Iron Free Offerings



From the horse's mouth:

Free Enterprise-Class Virtualization and Management
To accelerate deployment of its software and make it as easy as possible for any user to compare Virtual Iron 3.1 to their existing solution, the company has made production-ready offerings of Version 3.1 available absolutely free at http://www.virtualiron.com/free. Users can choose from two different free offerings of Virtual Iron’s full-featured 3.1 Enterprise Edition software package:

1. Free Single-Server Virtualization and Management – Free Perpetual License up to 4 sockets, unlimited cores. Users can consolidate up to 80 Linux and Windows servers, run 32 or 64 bit workloads up to 8 CPUs each, create and deploy virtual appliances, and quickly and easily template and clone virtual servers. This is the only free enterprise-class offering that allows users to unlock the full capability of their server investment.
2. Free Multi-Server Virtual Infrastructure Management - Free 30-Day Evaluation License. Users get all the capabilities of the single-server offering above plus all of Virtual Iron’s advanced virtualization management and policy-based automation capabilities for use in an unlimited multi-server environment.


I stand corrected.

The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers.
