We all know the issues that VMware brought to the table by changing their license model for vSphere and the opportunity that presented for alternative virtualisation vendors. Well it appears that VMware has listened with its upcoming release of VMware vSphere 5.1.
VMware is removing the vRAM licensing requirements and returning to its previous CPU-based licensing model, which customers preferred.
With only a .dot release of its flagship vSphere product announced at VMworld this week, VMware should expect to get a lot more attention for this release than it normally would have because of the licensing change. And all those vSphere 4.x users who've been waiting to upgrade to 5.0 may now finally make the move.
