What the judges said: “Of all the entries, this one stuck me because they explained how, with such a large company and virtual infrastructure; they were struggling with their traditional tools prior to this solution. Once they implemented this solution, they explained in detail how each of the features made the life of the VMware Admin, Exchange Admin, end users, and even customers much improved.”
