VMware, Inc. is revving its engines, hoping to scale from a $6 billion company to a $10 billion company, said VMware President and COO Carl Eschenbach. Whether it’s through new products like Airwatch or accessing new markets at home and abroad, Eschenbach said his company is poised to continue advancing innovation and driving value for their customers.
Describing VMware’s acquisition of AirWatch earlier in 2014, Eschenbach said, “We’ve achieved everything we expected to achieve out of that acquisition.” In July, VMware put the AirWatch products on their price list. Now, the VMware core sales team and channel partners can sell AirWatch products to their market of customers.
The next step, the COO continued, is leveraging VMware’s international footprint and broad client base to expand AirWatch deeper into VMware’s large accounts and to Europe and Asia Pacific.
Against AWS, VMware chooses flexibility as its main weapon
Both VMware and Amazon.com, Inc. are attempting to set the tone, to define the future of where the tech world is headed. In his interview on theCUBE, live from VMware’s annual trade show VMworld, show host Dave Vellante asked Eschenbach which company’s vision of the world will win out.
Eschenbach answered that he anticipates even many years from now, less than twenty percent of workloads will be run on the public cloud. While it’s clear that there’s ample opportunity in private and on premise, Eschenbach stressed “We need to make sure that we’re not locking any customer into an ‘or strategy’ — ” the type of situation where customers forced to choose between the types of cloud technologies they use. “It has to be an ‘and strategy’.” Eschenbach said.
This inclusive, customer-centric position is what Eschenbach thinks will differentiate VMware in the market. Their approach is to allow customers to move workflows “inside out and outside in.” The winner, Eschenbach said, will be the company that offers customers security, flexibility, and seamless integration so they can move their workloads on-premise and off-premise at will.
