Links that I have found interesting for March 4th:
- VMware is becoming an infrastructure management company – All these elements point to a single direction.
Of course VMware denies such ambitious project. Admitting today that within 5-7 years it will become the biggest competitors of its partners BMC, CA, HP and IBM is not a good idea.
But the reality is that the company wants virtualization to be ubiquitous and wants to satisfy every necessity its customers have inside the virtual sphere.This is why VMware feels the need, for instance, to acquire B-hive and provide a performance analysis tool for the applications running inside its virtual machines.
Or why it feels the need to acquire Determina and Blue Lane Technology to stack up a number of security products.
Or why it has to deliver a patch management solution that does much more than just updating the ESX hosts.
The list may go on and on (and will do in the near future).
