The Great Federation 

11/18/2014

0 Comments

 
EMC, Pivotal, and VMware have formed a unique Federation. Is this a good thing or will this be seen as taking over the Republic (Business as usual IT)?

According to VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger, we are in one of the "Most disruptive periods of IT". Moving away from traditional IT, Client Server based model, to

a Mobile Cloud model. He says that it's "Technology that disrupts and bridges to the mobile cloud".

Strategically aligned businesses, each are focused and free to execute individually or together. The Federation provides customer solutions and choice for the software-defined enterprise and the emerging “3rd platform” of mobile, cloud, big data and social, transformed by billions of users and millions of apps and according to CEO David Goulden, the common vision is "To move from the 2nd platform to the 3rd". Each company plays a significant role in that vision.

This federation offers 5 areas of value:

  1. Mobility — provide access to all applications and data through mobile devices.    
  2. Apps — use agile development to build new customer-centric applications.   
  3. Big data — build a business data lake to deliver insights using all available data.   
  4. Infrastructure — move to a software-defined data center (SDDC) infrastructure, expand to hybrid cloud   
  5. Security — use adaptive, data-driven security to rapidly respond to emerging threats.

The idea behind Federation Solutions is simple: shorten time-to-value and reduce implementation risk for these big enterprise IT agenda items.
