eG Innovations Strikes Gold Again
Following its Gold Award in Application and Infrastructure Management received at VMworld 2008, the eG VM Monitor received another Gold Award in a product review published on Dec. 10 on VirtualizationAdmin.com. Infrastructure expert David Davis gave the eG VM Monitor a rating of 4.8 out of 5. In his review, Mr. Davis said, "Normally I would not give such a high score but, like the judges at VMworld, I believe that what eG VM Monitor offers is very different from the other vendors that just offer network monitoring tools that happen to monitor ESX or ESX monitoring tools that only monitor ESX statistics."
