Why Google and VMware should unite



Because I say so...OK kidding. Lets just get some straight facts and see what they both have in common. Forget all the biased and unbiased opinions, both of these companies

  • rock!
  • have a solid engineering base
  • are sound
  • are young (at heart and age)
  • are mean and lean
  • have (and will continue to have) ideas that could blow off all the punditry and make the *analysts* again try to figure out yet another way to blow the competition away!
  • are in need to set up a good face against Microsoft, I mean if MS doesn't like then it'll try to eat them alive.
  • are moving rapidly towards the datacenter/utility computing model and since their approach is fresh and new , they can set up a whole new standard for ways where new startups can just get on to doing business, cutting lose from the cultural boundaries which limit us from doing what we so badly should be doing (listen to what I have to say about , set yourself free/Floating identities)
and besides then I just have to send my resume to one office ;-)

Virtualization: GlassHouse hopes to cash in with its IPO!

GlassHouse Technologies Inc. on Tuesday registered to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering that, despite the company's financial losses, could prove a hit with investors drawn to its focus on "virtualization" technology. 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...
