But don’t try and debate that issue with PHD Technologies, a backup and replication solutions provider for VMware Infrastructure 3 environments. The company was proud to announce that it has reached a company milestone: that more than 1,000 enterprise customers have now selected esXpress v3 to manage backup, restoration and disaster recovery of their data centers.According to the company, they have added significant customers this past quarter to surpass the 1,000th customer milestone. Companies taking advantage of virtualization and esXpress include ADP, Barnes&Noble.com, Siemens, Tyco and U.S. Food Service. “1,000 new customers in the 11 months since its release is a testament to the fact that esXpress v3 is by far the most effective method of backup for virtual environments,” said Laura Harbin, PHD’s director of channel sales. “We are proud to reach this significant milestone. Our continued success is a result of our dedicated Channel Partners worldwide and our commitment to deliver superior backup and recovery products with world-class support.”As you would have guessed, I would argue that virtualization technology is ready for mainstream consumption. And products like esXpress not only help companies with their existing virtual environments, they also offer answers to many of these debated issues as their technologies continue to push virtualization further into mainstream use.
