| Meanwhile, China continues to transform itself.

Cloud Wars: The 3PAR Strikes Back
|
|
Tue, 07 Sep 2010 08:20:00 EDT
|
| Source: SYS-CON Media |
| A long time ago (November 2009 to be precise), in a Cloud far far away, the Rebel Alliance of EMC, Cisco and VMware joined forces to form what are now dubbed Acadia and the VCE coalition. Soon after came the launches of VBlocks 0, 1 and 2 each respectively incorporating the EMC Celerra, Clariion or VMax with a stack of Cisco blades and switches and a layer of VMware virtualization to suit. Marketed as ‘best of breed’ and ‘ready configured to client specifications’ it was an immediate launch pad for any customer looking to deploy a private cloud with a single pane of management. Whether it was an already mature virtualization infrastructure looking to quickly expand or an organization wanting to enter the virtualization stratosphere with minimum fuss, in house training etc. the VBlock was quickly carving itself a significant market share. Hence no surprise that EMC’s VP of Global Marketing and CTO Chuck Hollis can hardly hide his glee in interviews at the current lack of direct competition to the VCE’s destiny to rule the Cloud’s Galactic Empire. But one should never underestimate the power of the HP side, now counterstriking in their salaciously exciting sweeping aside of Dell and consequent takeover of the brilliant storage platforms of 3PAR. The Cloud Wars begun they have. read more |
