So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

You might have noticed, VMGuru has closed its doors. We've been blogging off and on since 2008, but all good things must come to an end. After 15 years we decided to close shop and focus us on other things.

Since a lot of our articles are pretty dated and products mentioned are updated or are no longer available, we decided to remove the content. If you really, really want to read the old articles, you may try your luck on the Internet Archive (consider sponsoring them)

Thanks to all the loyal readers over the years. Hope to see you in some other form or capacity. Take care in your virtualization and cloud journey!
