by Patrick Redknap on August 31, 2010

I’ve been moving around the VMworld conference since it opened yesterday, and thought it best to showcase what PHD Virtual are offering.

This year PHD released the 4.0 version of it’s Backup for VMware product (previously esXpress), released Backup for Xenserver, and now at VMworld are showcasing Backup for vSphere (ESXi)!
