Just to add a vendor perspective. As an IaaS provider, we’d question the sense of purchasing paid-for software to have in-house virtualization when there are very credible public cloud providers that fully our-source your IT infrastructure and do not charge anything for software either. VMWare does not boast significant performance benefits beyond free to use platforms. Given the constraints on SME resources in terms of capital and human resources, public clouds represent the best space within cloud computing and virtualization for SMEs.

Best wishes,

Hi James,

Thanks for your comment, I like the look of the DataCore product also (some smart features) but StorMagic is neat for two reasons, it operates as a ESX guest and in it's basic form it's completely free of charge.

I have sent you an invite to have a discussion on the telephone.

Regards

Steve

So how is this any better that what DataCore has been offering for 10+ years or HP with their LeftHand acquisition product? I'm not disparaging this product I'm just trying to get a clear picture of what the differentiation or competitive advantages StorMagic has over existing, mature products in the market.
