Does this mean that hte company will be 10% public and 90% private?

EDIT:
It's a great product from what I understand at work. We get to play with it this summer if everything works out right. A great way to save on hardware when you are doing development of a larger target.

And it's a new company. This investor is na investor, not a speculator so I won't be putting any money into this company.

symmetrix/clariion SAN + tons of 2Gbps FC + blades =endless uses

I'll be installing 5 ESX servers with a Dell/EMC SAN in the next few weeks. ESX3 is definitely a solid product with plenty of features. VMware is really changing the industry because you can have more servers with less space, power and a/c requirements.

VMWare also recently made their P2V tool free as well.

that + free player + free gsx server sets them up for market domination

So many people are now familiar with their products.
