VMworld Met Expectations, But Is That Enough?
Summary
The first two weren’t surprising at all, given how closely industry watchers have been watching “Project Redwood” and the ever-growing SpringSource platform. The former is a big deal because it gives service-provider partners a secure, robust offering that will appeal to enterprise customers more than vCloud Express ever will. At this point, VMware’s big goal should be maintaining its status as a cloud computing thought leader and innovator, which means keeping a safe distance between itself and the competition. VMware certainly advanced its cloud vision at VMworld, but it didn’t do a lot to demonstrate that it’s still several steps ahead of the competition. Perhaps I’ll change my tune once I’ve had time to digest all the news and connect the dots, or perhaps I expect too much after the past couple of visionary VMworld events, but, for now, I feel like the competition narrowed the gap during VMware’s biggest week of the year.
