VMware leads one city Microsoft to force big data?

VMware has become a well-deserved leader in the private cloud sector, gaining the trust of 50% of respondents, according to a Rightscale survey. VMware's efforts over the years have paid off, but that does not seem to be enough to dispel the psychological misgivings of more respondents.

The survey reported that some users were wary of VMware because of concerns about "vendor lock-in", and they wanted to balance the public cloud. Beyond AWS, Azure and Google have become the two "rookies" that users focus on.

OpenStack in recent years the vigorous development is obvious, has the more and more supporters, has surpassed the VMware the trend greatly. But VMware plus its hybrid cloud services Vchs is still temporarily ahead of the "one city", but the report says users often don't know exactly what VMware products/services they are using, as long as the prefix has "V", they all think it has been used. Some ironic, it seems that VMware has become a veritable small "V".

But OpenStack is also unwilling to take a second, this week released a new "Icehouse" version (ie, i), this version in addition to adding a lot of new features, the biggest bright spot is that users can be from the Havana version (H version) directly upgrade, without downtime. VMware, of course, is still no threat, and has upgraded Vcloud disaster recovery services in addition to announcing the release of 27 SSL Heartbleed patches this week.

When it comes to open source, the box launches the Open source Plan "box open source" On the eve of the listing, allowing authorized external developers to acquire some of the box's internal technology and tools source code. Open source has always had "but eldest brother, second on open source" tradition, box open source is for? Red Hat, a model maker of open source, announced its project Atomic this week to develop its container technology.

Whether it is a public cloud or a private cloud, performance is definitely a hard indicator, otherwise, I have a "full flash" brand? Foreign people believe that network performance is one of the public cloud metrics, and for this test of AWS, Google, Rackspace and SoftLayer four public cloud services network performance, concluded: AWS Network performance is best, Google second runner-up, SoftLayer bottom.

Strictly speaking, this test has a certain amount of error, geographical location and the interconnection between the data center will affect the test results. But it is also clear that AWS's ability to occupy the "first" throne for a long time is not without reason, and that infrastructure is a prerequisite for SLAs. No, Google has decided to build a new data center in Asia to promote the "No Fall" empire in order to improve the quality of its services worldwide.

And now the "sun does not Fall" Empire, Microsoft, in the ongoing strengthening of its azure offensive, its new CEO,--it recently in San Francisco, again stressed the Microsoft's future strategy of the "on" to be about data. Of course, this is probably a big part of the reason for its newly released platform for SQL Server 2014. Cloud and Big data, Microsoft certainly does not want to be less, this slightly "bloated" old tycoon how gorgeous turn, we wait and see.

Violin the Jedi fight back? Cisco enters the full flash array market?

Violin because of the stock market after the collapse of the strength of the big injury, now finally slow recovered son came, and said that Easter as a starting point for a wave of counterattack, the weapon is its new full flash array products. But now the flash market Group Wolves, violin there is still a chance?

But there is no doubt that the flash market is an absolute opportunity to brew, such as Cisco's acquisition of a full flash array manufacturer whiptail (now renamed Invicta), and the full flash array as a stand-alone device for sales, this is a fancy full flash array market potential, On the other hand, it is to protect against EMC's Xtreimio and emerging flash-memory vendors pure storage.

Flash memory is the equivalent of a "sword", placed in the hands of emerging storage vendors, is to attack the traditional storage vendors weapons. In the hands of traditional manufacturers, but also to resist the emerging manufacturers of favorable products. For example, the enhanced flow caching technology in Dell's Commpellent uses a PCIe SSD product to speed up access to applications such as databases.
