Talking cloud and VMware's foray into multi-hypervisor environments
Date: Aug 28, 2012Keith Norbie, vice president of Nexus, a Stratos company, discusses the VMworld 2012 keynote speech, including VMware's cloud efforts, vFabric Application Director plans and interface changes. Norbie also notes the importance of the Nicira and DynamicOps acquisitions for multi-hypervisor and cloud implementations.
Plus, is VMware's addition of shared-nothing direct-attached storage in response to Microsoft Hyper-V features? More and more organizations are starting to use multiple hypervisors, and VMware has stayed out of that game until very recently. Now, it's time to support environments using KVM, Citrix XenServer and more, especially with Hyper-V gaining ground.
