VMworld Cannes 2008 : Microsoft Partner interviewed; Virtualization experiences exchanged

Microsoft is beginning to rise up to the Hyper-V challenge and by Q2 2008 a lot will start moving, and in a big way. In fact I had someone asking me for Hyper-V deployment yesterday in their production environment! A big customer and I pointed them in the right direction but also told them that they will have to wait for the GA ;-). Microsoft's Hyper-V is going to be central in its own Cloud-Ready data centers. The future virtualization will look a lot different than the carve by OS approach we see today.

Anyways so I got in touch with couple of my Microsoft buddies in U.S and they invited BrainForce guys to do a quick chat with me. Here I am chatting up with Albert Hooyer, Product Manager at Brainforce from The Netherlands.



These interviews were conducted for Virtualization.com portal.

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...
