VMware Act II: NSX takes center stage while older tech matures behind the scenes | #VMworld
by R. Danes | Sep 6, 2016
With the array of dazzling software hitting the market, it’s easy to get bored with older companies that deal in the nuts and bolts — until something burns out, malfunctions or allows a security breach. Then you remember that your flashy new application falls through the floor without rock-solid infrastructure. Luckily, not everyone is aspiring to be the next Docker. There are still some companies who are doing lower-level grunt work to enable the upper-level innovation.
Dom Delfino, VP of WW Sales and Systems Engineering at VMware, Inc., said that his company is staying true to its stalwart roots by forgoing fads and instead solidifying and improving its current technologies. He said that customers appreciate the approach and are saying, “This is starting to not be bleeding edge, but I’m starting to get into the production and maturation phase of the life cycle of these technologies we’re been talking about for the last three or four years.”
VMware act II
This is not to say that VMware has become static, said Delfino. He told John Walls (@JohnWalls21) and Keith Townsend (@CTOAdvisor), host and guest host of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during VMworld 2016 that VMware’s “act II” is coming into view.
“You hear about our cross-cloud strategy, you hear about our software-defined-data-center-as-a-service strategy, you hear about the cloud foundations, you hear about what we’re doing in hyper-converged,” he explained. He went on to say that NSX (VMware’s network virtualization platform for the software-defined data Center) plays a key role in many of these new strategies.
Staying the course
Delfino said that VMware was there at the beginning of virtualization and is committed to seeing customers through the journey.
“We told everybody to build these large, flat layer 2 networks — well, what’s the biggest security risk we have right now? These large, flat layer 2 networks,” he said, adding that VMware feels a responsibility to solve those security concerns.
