Pivotal is supported by General Electric 105 million dollars, the sword refers to the Internet and large data

VMware and EMC jointly announced a joint venture pivotal at the March 2013 VMware Investor Conference, but now that the company is operating independently, the company recently announced a grand plan to improve the speed of cloud-based industrial software applications. Of course they are not alone in battle, General Tepco will provide pivotal up to $105 million trillion in support, according to a pivotal spokesperson, in the new company, EMC occupies 62% of the shares, VMware holds 28% of the shares, General Electric accounts for only 10% of the shares.

It is worth noting, however, that pivotal has now admitted to being a PAAs platform, but says it has benefited from the many technologies it has borrowed from its parent company, EMC and VMware, as well as in industrialized products and services. Pivotal One is the next generation of PAAs program designed to build a new generation of enterprise PAAs platforms, which will be the first platform to integrate the latest data networks, modern programming frameworks, cloud portability, and legacy system support.

Next-generation enterprise cloud computing platform

Pivotal is now an independent company, but has deep roots with the parent company EMC and VMware, and Pivotal's incumbent CEO, Paul Mariz, after leaving VMware, Mariz took 8 months to start his operation, and pivotal was his first "handing in".

Mariz: "We have to combine the acceptance of large data and the depth of the data." From this point of view, we must take prompt action. These applications span a wide range of industries, but there is no simple and efficient way to deploy them on existing architectures and related databases, which means we need new platforms. ”

Pivotal Company has launched an enterprise-class cloud computing platform and architecture, while implementing a range of technology and departmental integration, including GREENPLUM,EMC's large data analysis and data storage technology, Pivotal Labs, EMC's application development environment ( The main implementation of SQL queries at the top of Hadoop data processing is the analysis of the start-up vendor Cetas (a quick analysis of Hadoop data), VMware's vfabric Intermediate suite and tools (including GemFire and spring, Used to build a centralized Java application for running data, as well as VMware's cloud Foundry cloud computing platform. Of course, pivotal also face the complexity of emc,vmware cooperation and coordination, whether the derived cloud products can achieve common design goals and development needs, but also to wait and see.

The situation facing the

Pivotal

Pivotal maintains a stable partnership with EMC and VMware and is also designed to achieve another growth, but pivotal is likely to make many enemies after exerting all aspects of the enterprise-level computing. Especially in the cloud business, it is likely to be marginalized by Amazon or other cloud providers, including Rackspace,gogrid, Microsoft, Dell, HP and IBM.

In a Gartner study, while affirming the idea of pivotal, it also points out that the technology for data, application, and cloud integration in its products is not yet mature, and that there are still significant deficiencies in the development of mobility and social capabilities. Gartner also said: "Before this platform is successful, we have to develop, implement, and integrate many functions." "

may be a new milestone

If pivotal is successful, it is a new milestone for the High-tech industry because the combination of big companies rarely breeds a successful business. Pivotal is now facing this opportunity. Now, whether it's a car, a generator, or even a home appliance that has a telemetry sensor, it means we can collect data about our location and status in real time, so using these to create industrial applications takes only a few days or weeks, It doesn't take months or even years to do it. The

Pivotal currently has 1250 employees, most of them from EMC and VMware. There is no doubt that they have a strong edge in the building of cloud computing systems, data storage, application management, and analytics software, and, of course, benefit from their parent companies. Pivotal will fill some gaps in the cloud services offered by AWS, Google and Microsoft-though they all offer similar cloud-based services, but lack the creative power of commercial software.

Another aspect of GE's goal is to create what is called the "IoT" business, which requires clearer state monitoring of engines, power systems and medical devices. "Armchair" is easy to do, because industrial data and consumer data are fundamentally different and require a highly reliable software to support the backbone. For example, if there is a problem with a software that supports Twitter, the worst thing is that users will see a wrong picture, but if a software-controlled jet engine goes wrong, the consequence is loss of life and property, which is pivotal's potential in the next few months, Stage.
