With the emergence of competing hypervisor products coming in the next 12 - 24 months, VMware's CEO, Diane Greene, was asked if VMware could continue to sustain their margins and maintain 80 - 90% of the market.
And Diane Greene's response? "...while competitors are coming into the market, coming out with a hypervisor product isn't an easy task. VMware's software is far more feature rich and has far more advanced capabilities than rival virtualisation companies. VMware is a pretty progressive company and we have continued to develop new products that have added value to help enable us to maintain our price points because of all the amazing new functionality that is of very high value in terms of cost savings for our customers."
If VMware is concerned about the competition cutting into market share and driving down prices, Diane Greene isn't showing it.
