Save on VMware vSphere 5 licensecosts with DinamiQs VME
July 12th 2011 VMware announced their licensing and pricing plans for their upcoming flagship product vSphere 5. There were some significant changes, most important the introduction of vRAM entitlement per server socket. The result of this vRAM entitlement seems to drive up the cost for many vSphere deployments, sometimes by a little, but most often by a lot with two and threefold price hikes being common, despite VMware's assertion that for most companies the licensing cost will remain nearly identical.
DinamiQs is a VDI specialist that develops unique software. Part of this software is called VME, or Virtual Memory Extender, for Windows, which extends the memory of your Windows VMs onto central storage, thus resulting in lower RAM requirements for your Windows Servers and Desktops, and so lower the vRAM requirements. The end result, depending on your situation, is a reduction in VMware licensing costs of up to 60% in some cases. And all this while maintaining the same or better performance and stability
Monday 25th July DinamiQs organizes a VME webinar. In this webinar we show you how to save money on licensing with VME and still gain the same or even better performance. During the webinar we show you several examples of how our customers save money with VME in their upcoming vSphere 5 environment. After the meeting, every attendee that fills out the questionaire, will receive a complimentary 8GB VME version with licensekey

We are rather excited over VME, we run the latest Sage Act DB which quote "It’s never ran well on physical hardware" we installed VME within a VM hosting ACT and it’s massively quicker than we have ever seen.
