VMWare used to be cutting-edge. It provided a great way for admins to isolate environments, scale systems, and control resource allocation, all on a single machine. Oh-so very enterprise, and secure too.
Unfortunately, VM’s just aren’t the best option for this anymore. Enterprise orgs all across the globe have been re-architecting their infrastructure to deploy onto containers, which do the same job, at a significantly lower resource cost, along with a long list of other benefits including cost savings.
This isn’t to say that VMs are going away anytime soon. Lots of orgs *arent* changing their infrastructure, and VM’s are still the best solution for providing a virtual workstation.
The acquisition might just be the last piece of business-case that architects need in order to get their CTO’s to sponsor an expensive migration.
