This year’s VMworld showed new directions for VMware, which previously seemed a bit disoriented in the cloud computing revolution.
Following up on their prior goal of being the Switzerland of software, VMware is aiming to become the universal middleware for physical and software-defined data centers, leveraging Dell’s deep partner ecosystem. And this is also evidenced in their efforts to partner with AWS as the first partner in a strategy of “any cloud and any workload” which will soon include Azure and Google Cloud.
