Virtualization Data center VMware push Software definition storage products

"Tenkine Server channel March 17", VMware has developed a new VMware Virtual San product based on Vsphere and is called Software definition storage. At this point, VMware has initially completed the Software Definition Data center product line. VMware is already dominant in the server virtualization marketplace. VMware NSX is the introduction of VMware into the network virtualization market important products.

VMware says the virtual San is placed directly into the VMware vsphere kernel, providing a new generation of aggregated virtualization hypervisor storage capabilities. The software centrally manages the internal disk and flash devices of industry-standard x86 servers, and enables excellent and flexible virtual machine shared storage.

VMware Virtual sans not only simplify storage configuration and management, but also reduce total cost of ownership and fundamentally create a more flexible mode of operation. VMware Virtual sans have the reliability and robustness of enterprise-class storage systems and are flexible and effective in dealing with data loss in the event of a hardware failure. VMware virtual Sans are perfect for a variety of virtual environments, such as virtual desktop infrastructure, test development, disaster recovery, and so on.

The presence of a VMware virtual San can clearly help users reduce storage costs and enhance storage flexibility, effectively leveraging VMware's advantages in the virtualized marketplace, and VMware's software definition data center strategy goes a step further. The introduction of VMware Virtual Sans, VMware has been on the server, storage, network and other infrastructure virtualization strategy to improve, complete software definition software data center strategy to surface.

VMware's recent earnings show its overall revenue of 5.2 billion dollars in 2013, up 17% from a year earlier. VMware says it will also continue to focus on advancing software definition data centers and hybrid cloud scenarios as a strategic focus.

In the 2014, VMware's moves in the virtualized marketplace are constant. VMware integrates Desktone acquisition resources to launch a new desktop, DaaS project deepwater DaaS Platform for service Providers, VMware has completed the integration of Desktone with Vcenter and Vcloud director.

VMware has recently been working on the desktop as a service area, and in November 2013 acquired the desktop, the service provider Desktone Company, Desktone's multi-tenant Desktop virtualization platform enables the delivery of Windows desktops and applications in the form of cloud services. VMware has previously managed, secured, and controlled virtual desktops through VMware Deepwater view.

VMware, a virtualization maker, spent 1.54 billion of billions of dollars on the acquisition of AirWatch, a mobile security company. The acquisition of AirWatch is the second total of more than $1 billion trillion in acquisitions by VMware over the past 1.5 years after the company acquired Nicira, a network virtualization software provider, in 2012.

Why would vmware buy a mobile security company so much? This should be related to the current mobile internet. The number of mobile terminals is now more than that of traditional PCs, and BYOD has become a common trend among enterprise users. In BYOD, enterprise data security is the concern of enterprises. This is even more important for VMware, because VMware itself is a virtualization vendor, with desktop virtualization in its business. Through desktop virtualization enterprises can better manage in the BYOD, through acquisition AirWatch integration of their mobile security technology can better persuade enterprises to start virtualization technology.

In short, we see VMware's huge ambitions in the virtualization marketplace, from the data center to the desktop, and VMware offers a full range of virtualization solutions. And VMware is not willing to just be a virtualization leader, VMware has been exploring the integration of virtualization and cloud computing patterns. Future VMware software defines how data centers evolve, and we continue to focus on them.
