Their strategy is straightforward and pretty compelling: 1. They virtualize applications (MSFT Small Business Server, Exchange, etc.) 2. Microsoft applications are the primary initial target because of the large installed base and channel following. 3. Those virtualized applications can live in any cloud. Again, straightforward and compelling. But as readers know, we don't actually "test" vendor solutions. So readers should draw their own conclusions. In fact, I'd like to hear from readers who actually test the system. -jp Steve: I didn’t say Doyenz has a hidden agenda. Their strategy is straightforward and pretty compelling:

They are more concerned with getting your SBS into a Doyenz based virtualized machine and providing the bundled services they offer to you. Where you put the virtualized machine is completely up to you. http://msmvps.com/blogs/steveb/archive/2009/02/27/does-doyenz-have-their-head-in-the-clouds-you-ask.aspx Steve From what I’ve seen, Doyenz doesn’t have any hidden agenda I know of in relation to getting SBS into the cloud.
