VMware : A Convenient Truth



Cartoon time folks! Diane Greene did push this vision during the VMWorld 2006 and we'll just see how we need to tell this truth to the world (old school of thought would have said: sell this software to potential clients)

Scenario 1: Old School of Thought

Sell the software to potential clients




Scenario 2: New Age for World Citizens

We talk about deeper and long term relationships






Moral of the story: If you have watched Al Gore's movie (documentary?) then you will realize that we are talking about serious issues here. It is not just evangelizing, there are some serious issues here. And obviously productivity and reduced costs will also help us overcome this hurdle smartly and creatively. And while you are at it , do also look for a "safer" ground to place your virtualized datacenters or else you might have to suffer the Mother Nature's wrath! In our next movie I've advised Al Gore to mention VMware..just kidding, but you get my point, I see ;-)

The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
