The keynote this morning seems to have a primarly theme. VMware, who has long been in the business of consolidation, is talking about how to use VMware products to make IT management and application presentation easy.<\/p>\n

With VI3, the primary focus was much the same as ESX 2.5+vCenter, server consolidation. To VMware, vSphere is a huge jump in their virtualization offering. There was some mention of some of the existing add-ons that can be using in conjunction with vCenter, but more emphasis was what’s coming. There was quite a bit of talk about things like chargeback, power consumption per host\/guest, and that type of thing. <\/p>\n

Two new offerings were mentioned today. VMware Go and VMware vCloud Express were mentioned. They are both web based tools, but they differ signifcantly. VMware Go<\/a> is a free tool provided to SMBs\/and the like for management of ESXi systems. VMware vCloud Express is a way to self provision guests from a cloud provider (provided you give your credit card).<\/p>\n

I’m wrapping this up so I can go to the press conference…<\/p>\n

More soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
