VMware releases vSphere Express for virtualization on up to 128 cores
Summary
Ars Technica reports that VMware released vSphere Express, a lower-end virtualization offering targeted at SMBs. The per-core pricing is lower than VVF/VCF, includes basic features like vMotion and HA, but does not support centralized management of multiple instances. The move is framed as a response to SMB demand and aims to win back smaller customers.
