Oracle Kills Virtual Iron Brand and Fires Employees

Wow, I thought this was crazy.. Virtual Iron was gobbled up by Oracle a couple months ago and I know a lot of us were wondering what was in store for Virtual Iron.. well, the future isn’t a good one for them. It looks like Oracle has killed the Virtual Iron brand, assimulating their technology and moving on (yes, that was a geeky Star Trek reference hehe). Read more about it at these links:

Oh, and if you need a VMware design/demo/quote to replace Virtual Iron in your environment, just let us know! ;-)
UPDATE: VMware has also provided special promo pricing for ex-Virtual Iron customers to move over to VMware! See the details here:
