Andrew Kutz: VMworld 2008: Looking Back At Day 1
Ultimately the first day was best summed up by the champion of VMware
bloggers, John Troyer. I was sharing my thoughts with him and he made a
pointed statement: VMworld 2008 is not about virtualization, it is not
about the hypervisor; VMworld 2008 is about the ecosystem that VMware
has created. What John means is that we are at a point in this field
where the virtualization aspect is no longer important. We get it. We
can virtualize. Now, what do we do with it?
I apologize for quoting Andrew quoting me, but I wanted to clarify a bit. I certainly didn’t mean the hypervisor is a commodity. My point was that it’s not about a single hypervisor partitioning a single server anymore. That’s 2004. In 2009 it’s about producing an extensible, flexible platform for the datacenter and building the ecosystem of partner functionality around it. That’s my take on why the VDC-OS is an important concept.

Definitely check out the twitter stream if you’re interested in what’s going on as it goes on. It’s a potent mix of notes, self-promotion, news, technology insights, and complaints about the wi-fi.
