vCHS will go through a 'ramp' and improvement process

Some people think VMware simply does not need to worry about AWS.

Jerry Chen, partner at Greylock Parterners, a venture capital firm, wrote in an article titled "VMware: Too Big to Fail or Too Big to Succeed?" VCHS and AWS now target different types of applications and different types VCHS is not an offensive product from VMware for Amazon and is actually a defensive product from VMware. "VMware is now facing increasing pressure from Microsoft in its core virtualization market, a new hybrid Cloud products will allow customers to "extend" their database in the cloud.

Pat Gelsinger, chief executive of VMware, acknowledged that AWS is a competitor in the cloud computing market, but the products of both companies are geared toward different customers. According to Gartner, a research firm, in its Annual Magic Quadrant report, Amazon cloud computing services are suitable for large-scale computing efforts that require large amounts of computing resources and sometimes require very little time. VMWare, on the other hand, is focused on promoting the hybrid nature of VMware virtual machines that connect their in-house deployments to their cloud computing.

Kyle Hilgendorf, a Gartner analyst who tracks the IaaS market, said introducing vCHS as a necessary move for the company in light of the poor performance of its vCloud Director product, vCloud Director, is a software platform that helps service providers build their own public cloud, Continue to support the product in the market. VMWare essentially wants to provide its corporate customers with a public cloud platform by providing vCHS. Given the company's widespread use of virtualization and private cloud platforms in enterprise environments, the company is likely to succeed in the public cloud space.

"I think in the long run, many businesses will inevitably have to use their products," he wrote in a blog post. "Even the largest AWS deployments will find vCHS better in some areas." For example, easily migrating virtual machine pools between on-premise and VMware's public cloud will be one of the biggest selling points for the platform.

Analysts say there is plenty of room in the market for AWS and VMware, as well as other vendors looking for market share. "Most businesses want at least two or three strategic IaaS partners to allocate workloads to meet different needs," wrote Hilgendorf. "As VMware becomes more saturated in the enterprise environment, vCHS is bound to become a great many of these tasks Load logical endpoints, but vCHS will go through a 'ramp' and improvement process. "

"Slope period" means the company is still continually improving the product. For example, Jack Clark of the Guardian pointed out that vCHS does not have a similar storage component compared to Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) or Elastic Block Store (EBS).

Next, is how the cloud platform will support other management procedures. VMware is taking steps to "embrace" the heterogeneous hypervisor environment, writes Brian Pontiff of ReadWriteWeb: "It was not a trivial matter to look at the appeal of VMware's hybrid services to its existing customers. First, they needed to address all Other management issues. "

Torsten Vold, an analyst at the Enterprise Management Institute, said hypervisor support highlighted some of the thorny issues VMware is facing. On the one hand, VMware supports multi-hypervisor and multi-cloud environments with its Network Virtualization Platform (NSX) and its cloud management tools, while the company is encouraging customers to use its new vCHS public cloud offerings. The company needs to deal with the balance between the two.
