EMC, VMware and Cisco Officially Introduce New Acadia / vBlock Joint Venture (Video)

November 4, 2009 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

Cisco Systems, EMC, and VMware today announced a joint venture to sell a new integrated data center product, dubbed vBlock.

The venture will sell and provide maintenance and service support for the product, and combine EMC’s storage equipment, Cisco’s virtualized servers and networking equipment as well as VMWare’s virtualization technology. Executives at the three companies said the Virtual Computing Environment (VCE) coalition will “help organizations simplify and accelerate pervasive virtualization and the transition to private cloud infrastructures.”

The deal had been rumored since September, when the Wall Street Journal reported the companies were working on a collaborative effort code-named Alpine. Talk of the deal heated up late last week and early this week.

Larry Ellison Rants On “Cloud Computing Nonsense” – (Two Videos)

October 1, 2009 by Robin Wauters 1 Comment

Oracle co-founder and CEO Larry Ellison pretty much hates cloud computing, as everyone knows by now. The man’s resent of the tech world’s buzzword du jour – one of them at least – is well documented, but it’s always amusing to see the man’s refreshing take as captured on video and audio.

Here are two recent videos of Ellison laying the smack down on cloud computing, the first one from TechPulse360 via Dvorak Uncensored and the second one a soundbite from last year’s talk at Oracle’s OpenWorld Conference:

Economy And Failure To Sell Likely To Murder Cassatt, Says CEO Bill Coleman (See Our Earlier Video Interview With The Man)

April 29, 2009 by Robin Wauters 3 Comments

Data center management software firm Cassatt is “close to the end,” stated founder and CEO Bill Coleman in a Forbes article. Coleman is well-known in Silicon Valley, having served as a senior exec in the early days of Sun Microsystems and as one of the co-founders of middleware company BEA systems. The ambitions with Cassatt were huge, but now (after raising $100 million in capital) the company is apparently having trouble even selling itself to one of the majors it aimed to compete with.

From the article:

“The big guys copied my story,” says Coleman. Cassatt, he adds, was upended by a slowing economy and by customers skittish about closing big orders or changing existing ways.

“What frustrates me is my own naivete,” he says. “I thought I could give companies something radical that had a proven return on investment, and they would be willing to change all their companies’ computer policies and procedures to get that. Right now it’s hard to get people to get beyond proof of concept tests or a data center energy analysis.”

And it concludes:

For his own part, though, Coleman says, “I have to think about my people. Then I’m going to a beach for a month to think about what to do next.”

We wish Coleman all the best.

Here’s a video interview we conducted with the man in the Summer of 2008:
