VMworld 2013 – Day 1 – storage day

Shares

First day of VMworld 2013 behind me. It was intensive 10 hours started at 8 am and finished at 6 pm.

Key note

As every time on VMworld on the first day there is a key note, the same was today. VMware CEO, Pat Geslinger was presenting past, current and feature of VMware and IT. For the first time I have to admit that I enjoy a key note, especially a part about past and the feature of VMware. The main focus would be on:

  • EUC -end user computing
    • VMware Mirage
    • VMware Horizon
  • Storage – Software Defined Storage
    • vVOLS
    • vSAN
  • Automation and orchestration
    • vCloud Automation Center
  • Network- Software Defined network
    • NSX

Asd you can see VMware main facus, like for past 3-4 years will be on Software Defined Datacenter and form end to end including storage, network and EUC part.

After a key note I took direction onto solution Exchange to check out what’s new in Storage and converdge architecture. I went to what startups can offer. I’ve visited:

  • PureStorage
  • Violin Memory
  • Nimble Storage
  • Tintri
  • Nutanix
  • Simliviity
  • DataCore

In the next few days I  will write more about each of them to give you overview what is going on in storage field. General trend is Flash, Pool, automate – more IOPS, low latency. Get storage as close as possible to workloads and hypervisor to minimize latency from miliseconds to microseconds.
