VMware vSphere (perhaps) available at 06/30/2009

During my search on the VMware website in the section VMmark I found an interesting thing. In a test made with VMware ESX v4.0 (e.g. this one) the "Virtualization Software Availability Date" is mentioned as June the 30th.

We'll see if this date is correct ;-).

UPDATE: Ok ok, vSphere was already released on May the 20th. You can dowload an evaluation version here.

UPDATE 2: VMware put much effort into this evaluation. In the section "Guided Evaluation" you can find many videos showing for example how to install vSphere. At the moment there are still some missing, but I'm sure they'll update this section soon. Hopefully I can soon give you some of my own impressions after testing the new version ;-).
