Featured Success Story: Changhong Group

"Changhong Group understood that mature virtualization technology was the key to its current project's demands. In the beginning, VMware Vsphere 4 Enterprise Virtualization Platform appeared to be an optimal choice. However, the Hongxin Software project team raised internal concerns with VMware's solution. First, the VMware Vsphere 4 virtualization environment would incur high costs in software and service purchasing. But most importantly, Changhong Group uncovered that the company's past experiences with VMware illustrated that when its IT solutions were tied up by an application manufacturer, either prices or solutions thereafter would be dominated by the manufacturer, and the true users would lose control over the final solutions"
