There are many. We don't have a lot of user cases on ovirt.org, but there
are many universities, for example.

Is VMware free? Or open? Can you fix bugs or add features to it?
I'm (VERY) biased, but I think ease of use, performance (especially of
Linux VMs) and breadth of integration are the main key points.

4.2 Alpha is just around the corner, with new UI and plenty features. Any
area specifically?

I know some use it for server virtualization, some for desktop
virtualization. I think more for the former than the latter.
An IAAS for containers based solutions (such as Kubernetes, OpenShift) is
also a strong initiative recently.
It is definitely used for used at any scale - from a home lab, 3 nodes
hyper-converged to enterprise, with hundreds of hosts for mission critical,
highly available services.

I think such presentation would be more successful if it hit the needs of
the recipients. What are their current pain points? Where would they like
to be tomorrow?
