What sort of work do you do? elavil 10mg weight gain The world is also changing; the virtualization war isn't just fought in big-business datacenters. The public cloud is now a larger theater of operations and here is where VMware's approach is muddier than Microsoft's. With the recent announcement of its own Hybrid Cloud Service offering, VMware has a lot of catching up to do. In the end, if I want to host VMs in a public cloud I don't really care about the underlying hypervisor, I care about cost, uptime, security and ease of management. The catch, of course, is that it'll be easier to move a VM from my own vSphere infrastructure to the VMware Hybrid Cloud Service than to Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Windows Azure (just as it's simple to move a VM from VMM to Windows Azure using AppController). It's hard to see VMware competing with a premium label and pricing against established players such as AWS and Windows Azure. Microsoft has 19 years of experience in running large "cloud" services on the Internet; this experience is clearly making its way back into products such as System Center and Windows Server 2012, and VMware will have to prove it can muster the equivalent public cloud chops.
