… was a VMware bill for “10 times the sum it previously paid for software licenses,” per The Register.

… OpenNebula has enabled the company to dedicate more of its 3,000 bare metal server fleet to client loads instead of to VM management, as it had to with VMware. With OpenNebula purportedly requiring less management overhead, Beeks is reporting a 200 percent increase in VM efficiency since it now has more VMs on each server.

Damn. Pay less and gain significant efficiency increases.

Before reading it: they don’t pay.

Now I’ll read and hope to be proven wrong.

Edit: not a word about paying for a license from OpenNebula :/ OpenNebula does have enterprise subscriptions, but I wonder if Beeks Group is actually paying, or not.
