VMware is courting Virtual Iron customers, following Oracle's announcement that it would discontinue the virtualisation vendor's products.
The virtualisation giant is offering a migration route to VMware vSphere 4, for Virtual Iron customers who have been left out on a limb after Oracle acquired the vendor last month.
In a letter to Virtual Iron partners, Oracle said it would "suspend development of existing Virtual Iron products and will suspend delivery of orders to new customers."
