Proofpoint and VMWare success in virtual appliances

The Monash Report is reporting on the success of the VMWare virtual appliance program and the Proofpoint antispam appliance.

I talked with Proofpoint today, and got a more positive view about VMware’s virtual appliance strategy than I’ve gotten from other appliance vendors. They cite over 500 downloads in the past couple of months, of which a significant fraction have turned into actual sales.

It’s very early days for virtual appliances so it’s definitely good to hear about some early success with the program. More will come as people get more comfortable with the concept and hopefully have success with their early test deployments.
