Hi,  
I will be implementing this device in our VMWARE ESX infrastructure but need to know if in have to purchase an Anywhere USB concentrator for each guest machine? or can I share one USB concentrator with multiple virtual machines?

Thanks,  
Louis-

Louis,

One computer (or virtual machine) can be connected to the AnywhereUSB at a time, so if your virtual machines need constant access to the USB ports of the AnywhereUSB, then you would need one AnywhereUSB per virtual machine. Otherwise, whatever virtual machine’s connected to the AnywhereUSB would need to first disconnect from it before another could connect.
