Tim Crawford
Wonder if VMware can truly maintain longer term considering the formidable headwinds from alternative solutions?
Bert Latamore
VMware dominant in server virtualization, can leverage that to ntowrk, storage. Question is vCloud vs AWS, Azure, IBM CLoud, Helion, etc.
Tim Crawford
I want to see VMware succeed...but am also a realist on where tech is headed.
Bert Latamore
I own no stock in any of the vendors. This is a very interesting decade in the industry.
John Furrier
Pat Gelsinger said years ago "if you're not out front of that next big wave you become driftwood". VMware is the Pat G and team staying the course
Tim Crawford
@furrier But is VMware really out front of the next big wave? IMHO: They're risking dragging behind.
John Furrier
I see this as offensive all the way Pat Gelsinger is not a defensive player #WestCoastOffense
Dave Vellante
the legacy of tucci, gelsinger, Carl E, Goulden et al will depend on their ability to navigate those headwinds...
Bert Latamore
Craig McLuckie, Project manager, Google on #theCUBe from #VMware2014 now. http://siliconangle.... A rare look inside Google & where it's going.
Bert Latamore
Fantastic conversation.
Dave Vellante
Google - different strategy in enterprise cloud than Amazon - more inclusive of hybrid / on prem
John Furrier
Google is a player and he brought up @mapr benchmark record smashing tech at Google IO a few years ago https://www.mapr.com...
Bert Latamore
It was a very interesting discussion. So I hear one set of vendors saying the data center is cheaper & another saying hyperscale public cloud is cheaper. WHo is right?
John Furrier
@dvellante Google is solid in the enterprise & if they just turn on the lights it will be a big move once they focus on it. Right now I think Google isn't so focused on winning the enterprise as Vmware is
Bert Latamore
Yes. I am very interested in what Google is doing & so far have no visibility into them.

John Furrier
how to harness data protection and other solutions are outside of the storage itself Datagravity goes inside the array and gets the data
John Furrier
Paula Long is a serial entrepreneur who is a player and from the Boston area. Great guest and @herrod firms investment
Dave Vellante
Paula is an expert at simplifying complex technologies, finding a beach head and then expand...
Dave Vellante
Paula Long says Data Gravity is a "vaccine"
Bert Latamore
Recent IDC report says companies should go to virtual storage on the cloud. Why should they go to DataGravity instead?
John Furrier
DataGravity secret sauce is capturing the meta and integrating it fast into systems to allow for more complex questions; a complete rearchitecture says Paula Long
Bert Latamore

Dell Sr Exec Sam Greenblatt now on #theCUBE from #VMworld2014 live with John Furrier @furrier.
John Furrier
Disaggregation of servers is happening which is going into a new style of architecture
Bert Latamore
They don't go away, butd when all dthe management & differentiation moves to the software then hardware vendors compete solely on price, and profits get razor thin.
John Furrier
big trend: compute is moving closer to the data that is the cloud and converged infrastructure mantra -cough cough that's the mainframe
John Furrier
@dvellante talking valuations of startups .. are flash valuations justified?
John Furrier
the real battleground will be the software stack game
John Furrier
Pat Gelsinger is coming on @theCUBE at 4:30pst come watch live.siliconangle.tv - post questions for Pat you want me to ask here on CrowdChat thread.
CrowdFather
Jamie MacQuarrie asks: Very interested to see how #vmware defines moving up the stack. What does the "application economy" mean to them?
CrowdFather
Gregg Holzrichter asks: How will Cisco's rumored development of a more aggressive storage strategy impact general VMware / Cisco partnership, EMC pressure, VSAN adoption?
CrowdFather
Henrick Wagner asks: How about asking Pat about what he thinks Chambers uttered the other month about trying to crush VMW. That would be a good ice breaker :)
CrowdFather
Kong Yang asks: what is Pat's favorite VMware technology/IP? And it could be from their recent acquisition as well.
CrowdFather
Aaron Delp asks: What are his plans to move further "up the stack" besides automation/orchestration? What are his plans around applications in this area?
CrowdFather
Henrick Wagner asks: How does the intersection of ERP application such as SAP align with the 3rd platform open source stacks?
John Furrier
thanks @Crowdfather I'm going to ask "who will be "disrupted" the most this year coming out of VMworld. there always is a victim of innovation
Kelsey Mulcahy
