VMware IPO - Great long term investment value For many who don't necessarily have a technology background, this post will offer some insight into the business value of the VMware product space from a working experience perspective. Being involved on the business development side & the vice versa side of a client, I will offer my take on this partial IPO and why I think it makes a killer investment value.This post will get somewhat technical - to truly understand why this technology is of great value we must dig deep into its ability.The challenge that IT departments have is how to keep IT cost down while business and service level requirements continue to increase? The computing infrastructure plays a foundational role in most business processes. Industry surveys indicate that 70%-80% of TCO is consumed by the people and processes used to maintain existing systems and applications.Traditionally, companies have deployed applications with separate development ...

The stock plunged significantly. However, VmWare has a great business model that lets the customers increase their productivity. As this post by Aandy20 points out. So in the long term, I say don't pay attention to these fluctuations and focus on the long term growth of this sector. Competition from Microsoft and XenSource (Now acquired by Citrix) does not seem grave today.

This post clearly reveals information about the company that Yahoo does not deem right.
#6 | Michael @ 10 months ago Director of Engineering at Auctoritas User Rank : 58 Portfoilo Balance: $42,117.00 Comment Rating: 0 Flag Comment Spam | Miscategorized | Prohibited: The stock has been falling however I'm holding it for the long term. Larry Ellison of Oracle said that VmWare is just like Netscape 10 years ago. Where Microsoft comes in and swallows the product and comes out with their own. But that's Larry taking a rant posture. Difference is we have Google that's giving Microsoft enough of a headache in search and if you pay attention Microsoft has been increasing funding and talent to compete with search as a high priority goal. Not only does Microsoft have that to worry about, they need to figure out how to virtualize the Linux OS - which to the best of my knowledge they still cannot do with their virtualization suite. Considering that VmWare is constantly innovating and have the best virtualization product on the market makes me believe this stock is worth of a hold. It will not be as simple to swallow up VmWare like they did with Netscape as VmWare doesn't just run on your home PC. Larry also said that VmWare is so simple to write that his cat can write it. Ms Greene’s tart response, delivered during an interview with the Financial Times at VMware’s Silicon Valley headquarters: “If his very smart cat could write it, my very smart tortoise could write his database.” Talks like that between managers of titan companies is funny to me. Putting all that garbage nonsense away, what matters is what product you have, how competitive it is in the market and what is the long term demand of your solution. VmVware delivers.
