VMware is already the most important, and with vSphere the best systems software vendor on the planet. This is true not only based upon the current success of the vSphere platform, but the quality of the long term strategies in place for vFabric, vCloud, and vCenter. With vSphere 5, VMware can ill afford distractions that… vCloud SecurityOn the 2/24 Virtualization Security Podcast we were joined by Davi Ottenheimer and Michael Haines of VMware to discuss vCloud security. This is of quite a bit of interest to many people these days. As VMware adds more and more Cloud functionality, how to secure the environment is becoming more and more important. The podcast… Want to Move to the Cloud? Simple StepsYou heard the buzzwords and drunk the kool-aid and now you want to move to the cloud, how do you do this? This has been the a fairly interesting question on the VMware Communities Podcast yesterday, when the vCloud team showed up to talk about the current reference architecture.

The Big VMware Announcements at VMworldYesterday at VMworld 2010, VMware, the global leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure, introduced its cloud application platform strategy and solutions, a new focus upon end user computing as a service, a new cloud management solution, new security solutions, and the acquisitons of Integrien and TriCipher. Should the SMB Adopt Cloud Computing?
With the advent of VMware Go, vCloud Express, and the vCloud API, VMware's marketing message is that all SMBs should use the cloud to either deploy their free hypervisor (VMware Go), or use the Cloud to run their servers (vCloud Express). VMware claimed at VMworld that we are no longer looking for ROI with Virtualization… vCloud ExpressThe launch of vCloud Express came with little detail on its features and functions with many confused as to what type of solution it was. Is it a product, a service, a program or a certification? |
