Cloud infrastructure major VMware, Inc. VMW announced recently that it will be partnering with Google Inc GOOGLGOOG to create an enterprise public cloud. VMWare’s CEO Patrick Gelsinger was on CNBC Tuesday to talk about the collaboration and provide insight on the strategy.
VMware + Google: What Edge Does It Give You?
“Really what this is: Google’s presence in the public cloud and their analytics capabilities combined with VMware’s leadership position in the enterprise space.”
“Bringing those two together allows us to deliver this hybrid cloud capability that’s unparalleled in the industry. And the results allows us to deliver on this vision that we have laid out of one cloud. Any app. Any device,” Gelsinger said.
“This is combined with many other announcements we have done this week; [it] uniquely positions us to deliver on this vision.”
How Is Amazon Involved?
When asked about the value proposition offered to users of Amazon's AWS, Gelsinger responded, “The important point to realize is that we are in the early innings of the cloud discussion.”
“Analysts estimate that maybe 4 to 5 percent of workloads are running today’s public clouds and now enterprise customers are saying, 'How do I execute the next stuff, the harder stuff? The things that require my huge investments? The 95 percent of my enterprise apps and my current data centers? And how do I combine those with public cloud?'”
“And that’s the space where what we are doing -- one cloud, any app -- allows the on-premise to work uniquely with the off-premise, bring those together into a single cloud offering. One cloud, any app.”
