There’s lots of announcements from VMware in the IT press. Things like partnerships with Intel, etc. I have a hard time thinking that VMware weren’t already working tightly with Intel for the last decade.
There’s been rumours of turmoil at the executive level for a while now. I’ve no idea if that is true or not. But there certainly are lots of announcement at the same time there’s lots of hype about Citrix and Microsoft’s next offerings.
What I do know is there is a lot of excitement in the VMware consumer base about where VMware is going next with HA and storage VMotion. It looks very interesting and I’ll have to get to some demo at some point.
