VMware Announces Virtual Datacenter OS

September 15, 2008 Leave a Comment

Looks like the new was released earlier than I had expected.  Yesterday, ahead of VMworld in Las Vegas, VMware announced the Virtual Datacenter OS (VDC-OS). VDC-OS is (in my mind) a very logical extension of the VMware offering to provide a unified framework for enterprises to power and manage virtualization in their datacenter.  It also also the pre-cursor to eneable the virtualized services to be moved between the enterprise datacenter and enabled cloud providers.  I think this is where things will get really interesting in the future.

Since I don’t have a lot of time to comment on this announcement right now (I’m waiting to board my flight to VMworld), here is a list of reading sources about this announcement:

  • Virtual Datacenter OS from VMware
  • Scott Lowe’s VMware’s Virtual Datacenter OS comments to correct mis-understandings of VDC-OS by some trade rags
  • Yellow Brick’s VMware’s first announcement correctly brings focus to some key features announced
  • PCWorld: VMware Tries to Expand Throughout the Data Center

Watch for more comments through out the week…
