A couple of weeks ago at VMworld 2012 in San Francisco we announced our vCloud Suite strategy.

VMware is promising to launch - at its annual customer event VMworld 2010 in San Francisco - a new IT-as-a-service strategy along with what it says will be "a full suite of cloud computing solutions to help businesses move towards a business-centric, services-oriented way of using IT."

At VMworld 2012 (Aug. 26-30, San Francisc0), VMware is expected to share an expanded vision — one that involves virtualization driving private and public cloud initiatives. Amid a CEO transition, VMware (NYSE: VMW) is expected to explain how its software will power converged data centers that are elastic and scalable.

VMware CEO Paul Maritz and his successor, Pat Gelsinger, will take center stage at VMworld on Aug. 27. Joined by CTO Steve Herrod, the trio is expected to describe how VMware (NYSE: VMW) will push beyond traditional virtualization to power next-generation data centers. The goal: Virtualize servers, storage and networking while empowering customers for cloud computing.

VMworld, VMware's signature annual user and partner event, is kicking off this week in San Francisco, so it seems worth reconsidering the company's recent acquisition of SpringSource.

As VMware (NYSE: VMW) prepares to kick off VMworld 2012 (Aug. 26-30, San Francisco), Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) has launched a preemptive strike, claiming that Oracle VM is a better solution than VMware vSphere for virtualizing key Oracle applications. In reality, that claim comes from the Elevator Group, an analyst firm.

At VMworld 2012, VMware (NYSE: VMW) unveiled vCloud Suite 5.1, which is designed to help channel partners master software-defined datacenters. VMware Chief Marketing Officer Rick Jackson said the suite integrates the company’s virtualization, cloud infrastructure and management portfolio into a single SKU for partners and customers.

Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) at VMworld 2012 is expected to discuss a Desktop Virtualization Competency for channel partners, including Wyse Technology partners, according to Bob Skelley, executive director, global certified partner program and channel at Dell. Dell acquired Wyse earlier this year.

Virtualization kingpin VMware (NYSE: VMW) has opened its Ready solutions validation program to networking and security suppliers, adding to eight other existing product categories for which the vendor stamps third-party offerings as certified and optimized for its vSphere and View platforms.
