Dell also signaled its continued interest in deepening integration with VMware’s technology as it pursued the hybrid market, which happened to coincide with Google’s interest as well. Dell’s latest moves come one week after Google Cloud’s introduction of VMware Engine, designed to provide a fully managed stack with VMware Cloud Foundation.
This week’s news from Dell included embedding Kubernetes natively into VMware’s vSphere. Dell’s Cloud Platform will now provide a direct path to the popular container orchestration tool with workload support on Dell EMC VxRail infrastructure.
“You can run your applications on any cloud while having data sitting outside of your cloud with the high-performance, high-speed access that you need,” Mandal said. “That’s where we are bringing the innovation and the value.”
Recognizing that the global pandemic has placed much higher demand for features such as video streaming and virtual connectivity, Dell also announced that it would update its Dell EMC SD-WAN Solution powered by VMware. This will give customers more appliance and bandwidth capability.
Reducing fees
One of the subplots in the current cloud computing world saga involves cost, specifically the expense of moving data out of cloud environments. This charge is commonly known in the industry as a data egress fee, and it has not attracted a lot of attention in the past. But when the pandemic suddenly forced millions onto video-streaming platforms, it has emerged as a much bigger deal.
Evidence for this can be seen in Zoom Inc.’s announcement last month that it had signed a new cloud contract not with one of the “big three” providers, but with Oracle Corp. Zoom revealed that it planned to process 7 million gigabytes of data through Oracle’s cloud on a daily basis. Oracle indicated that it had offered another customer — 8×8 Inc. — an 80% discount.
It attracted only a brief mention in January, but when Dell EMC previously updated its Isilon OneFS file system to support Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute Local, the company also said that any data written back to Isilon would not incur egress fees.
“This is a Dell and Microsoft Azure partnership, so that’s where you do not get charged with the egress fee when the application is running in Azure and connecting back to our Dell EMC storage as part of the cloud services,” Mandal confirmed.
