<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">just wondering if anyone has any comments on the difference between Cisco UC Virtualization Foundation vs VMWare vSphere ? it says
that one of these is required. i'm looking at a couple of C series installations.<br>
<br>
Is Foundations "free"? Will it give me everything I need to manage these VMs? <br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
