One of the hot topics at VMWorld 2011 is the private cloud versus the public cloud. Alex Williams, a lead blogger and analyst for SiliconAngle, believes the type of platform between the two is becoming the key story.
"I think we'll hear about this whole idea of connecting globally through these service providers." He went on to elaborate with an example of where a company would have its own private, virtualized infrastructure and be able to connect it into a global environment. It would have a services connector group with different service providers in different parts of the world. What this means for the customer is a one-stop shop, where they would have a single contract with a company and access to multiple united clouds.
When asked what enablers VMWare would need to make this happen, Williams said the security aspect would set it apart from Amazon web services and other public cloud providers.
Another up and coming type of cloud computing is database as a service. This involves providing a database for developers inside the enterprise using agile methodologies to develop applications. These developers need the ability to update every day. Over the past few years they have been creating their own databases and now there's what Williams calls a "sprawl issue." Database as a service would bring all of those databases into one consolidated space so they can manage them more effectively and satisfy service developers' needs.
According to Dave Vellante, co-founder of Wikibon, "We have a lot of clients in the Wikibon community that are having great success virtualizing Oracle databases, so it's inevitable."
Williams and Vellante also touched on cloud foundry and platform as a service. Wiliams states, "It's about building applications with lots and lots of data." He said it's about being able to build applications quickly on a platform. He also believes there are many young companies that will benefit from this model.
