The recent VMware Explore event brought the term “cloud chaos” into the information technology lexicon.
It was a welcome addition that summed up the problems of managing multiple cloud vendors within a single organization. VMware Inc. claims to be
addressing this issue with its focus on multicloud management, pivoting the pure cloud-native message of the more recent VMworld events.
“From VMware’s perspective, you can put their virtual machine technology in any cloud,” said Jason Bloomberg (pictured), founder and president of Intellyx LLC. “So if you do that and you put it in multiple clouds, then you have this common familiar environment. It’s VMware everywhere; it doesn’t really matter which cloud it’s in, because you get all the goodness that VMware has and you have the expertise on staff.”
Bloomberg spoke with theCUBE industry analysts John Furrier and Dave Vellante at VMware Explore, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed whether VMware’s strategy is taking the company in the right direction for the future of cloud computing. (* Disclosure below.)
