Yesterday’s most surprising news story out of VMworld
Posted Monday, August 31, 2009 in News 0 comments
Here's the lede from a Computerworld story:
EMC will resell virtualization management software from VMware alongside its own Ionix management platform in an expanded partnership aimed at helping enterprises build private clouds.
Expanded partnership? EMC freaking owns VMware. VMware isn't EMC's partner, they are EMC's chattel.
The article goes on to say that VMware was spun off from EMC in 2007. Umm, not exactly. An IPO of a small minority share, while retaining complete voting control of the company and full control of the board and management is not a spin off.
In other news, GE announced an expanded strategic alliance with NBC, and General Motors and Chevrolet are in negotiations for joint go-to-market plans.
