VMware to cut 900 jobs

I expected posts like this to come flooding in. Posts by people who think virtualisation starts and ends with your efforts to get Ubuntu or Windows running in Virtualbox. Posts by people who have no idea what virtualisation in the enterprise is.

This post should be on 'shit HN says' but without the context it won't make any sense.

Basically a single physical server running 10's to 100's of virtualized servers. With all the management challenges that entails.

I've seen this but with farms / clusters of hundreds of servers.

Somewhat different to some home user sticking Ubuntu on his virtualbox....

We're closer to the tens end, luckily. I think we run about 4 dozen servers total.
