VMWorld Starts Today!
Today, VMWare kicked off its user conference VMworld in San Francisco, where they expect more than 10,000 customers to attend and learn about the latest virtualization technologies from many different vendors.
One technology that is transforming virtualization is the Cisco Nexus 1000V which was develop in collaboration with VMware and recently released as part of VMware’s vSphere solution in May. I recently had a chance to sit down with Paul Fazzone of the Server Access Virtualization Business Group to discuss the reaction this solution is getting from customers and partners.
If you want to learn more about how Cisco is helping unify the network infrastructure to simplify virtualization management for our customers, I recommend checking out:
