Well this was nothing but a sales pitch EMC, Cisco and VM. Just ask them a simple question. How many successful project they have done?
To make virtulization and cloud computing, just keep them out and let a independent person design the fundamantal and then chose these guys. Also remember they all three have a license based policy which i completely disagree. The FOSS is best answer. check www.timetunnel.co.za
I wasn't aware Virtualization was all that hard to set up in the first place. The major challenge isn't the hardware/OS/VM pieces, but the application pieces. A client of mine is looking at "de-virtualizing" one of their key applications because the app vendor's newest release is specifically not supported in a virtual environment--this despite some rather loud protesting by my client who is in the beginning stages of a major virtualization effort.
The Cisco/EMC alliance (VMware is a piece of EMC) can be helpful if it gets more app vendors to support virtual environments for their applications, but absent that, there's not a lot in that announcement to merit much excitement.
A Great start towards "Green IT".
EMC, Cisco and VMware alliance will work.
The technology everyone is talking about more os less is same.
The alliance will allow a business more options for Consolidation & effective use of IT.
I think that such solution first of all will allow to reduce TCO of deploying and supporting of virtualization.
Yes. I absolutely agree that vendors can make virtualization easier for your business. Considering the three vendors mentioned here, it is a good chance that the solution works. Before responding to vendor announcements, organizations need to determine their business needs. Many companies are just fine with the existing technology. For others there are no advantages to changing. While still others, need to make changes to become faster, more productive, and efficient in their operations. None of these requires the cost and effort associated with an engagement with these vendors. However, there is no doubt that if the decision is virtualization and cloud computing, there are vendors who make it easier for your business.
Virtualized application assemblies can lower operating expense for the initial implementation and for ongoing management. We learned this some time ago when we began building products with printed circuit boards that contained multiple components. The frontier for lowering operating expense will be conquered when the virtualized application assemblies also have pre-defined application management interfaces that fit into a holistic application management framework.
So many tools out there. By tools I mean vendors. It's complex. There's not enough complex problem solvers out there that are prepackaged. People are going to have to grow legs & walk on their on two feet trying a variety of things till they find a fit. People have a want it all now persona but don't actually do anything to get there. Cloud Computing is getting even more complex. Coalition might help direct niche traffic but again people need to dive in & figure it out for themselves, there are millions of online tribes.
