VMware’s new “Virtual Monster’s Inc.” powers “Cloud Infrastructure”
What a big day for VMware, monsters, and organizations looking to advance from physical to virtual to cloud. The launch webcast was very well done and @jasonboche was right in his blog; the firehose of tweets and blogs was unreal! I personally thought the analogy of paralleling the history of Microsoft bundling individual apps into “Office”…
Virtualization Tier -1? The Tale of Fusion IO, EMC Lightning, & IO Turbine

Preview: Nexus 2nd Gen VDI Showcase
I’m happy to preview the completion of the Nexus VDI Showcase (phase 1)!! VDI is slated to be a bigger opportunity than virtualizing servers by a factor of 5 to 1. (FYI, Virtual Servers has been the biggest thing in IT for the last 5 years and there’s lots more desktops than servers) Why such…
