These exciting offerings will allow us to provide new and existing customers of all sizes with enhanced service level, standardization and availability capabilities for remote and branch office locations.

Customers can expect vSphere Remote Office Branch Office to deliver:

Faster provisioning of servers through virtualization

Enforcement of configuration standards

High availability of IT infrastructure at remote sites via vSphere�s business continuity features such as vMotion, Storage vMotion, Replication and Data Protection

These new offerings feature a per virtual machine licensing metric that offers customers the flexibility to deploy only the number of workloads required at each remote site. vSphere Remote Office Branch Office Standard and Advanced is expected to be available in Q3 2014. They will be available in packs of 25 virtual machines priced at $3,000 for the Standard edition and $4,500 for the Advanced edition. These packs can be distributed across multiple remote sites. These new offerings will replace existing vSphere Essentials and Essentials Plus Kits for Retail and Branch Offices.

Note that the regular non-Retail/Branch Office Essentials and Essentials Plus Kits (that come in 6 CPU packs with 1 vCenter Server Essentials) will continue to be available.

For more info, go to: http://vmw.re/LGiv9r

If you�re at VMworld this week, you can learn more about using vSphere in Remote Office and Branch Office environments in the following session:

INF1212 – �Best Practices in Virtualizing Remote Offices and Branch Offices with VMware�

Tuesday, Aug 26, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PT

Wednesday, Aug 27, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM PT

Coming soon: vSphere 5.5 Update 2

We�re also announcing vSphere 5.5 Update 2. The new release offers support for new chipsets, guest operating systems, business critical application and 6TB hosts. It is expected to be available in Q3 2014.

Get details on the pending release at the following session:

INF1502 – �What’s New in vSphere?�

Wednesday, Aug 27, 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM PT

Thursday, Aug 28, 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM PT

vSphere Beta Program Continues

On June 30, we opened up the vSphere Beta Program for everyone to enroll and to help us define the direction of world�s most robust virtualization platform. Over the last couple of months, beta participants have offered up heaps of feedback on product functionality, configurability, usability, and performance in the private beta community. Additionally, they have had the chance to learn more about vSphere through weekly webcasts and interaction with our product teams.

We�re committed to make the next release the strongest possible with your help. The beta program remains open, and we�re still seeking participants. It�s not too late to download, install, and evaluate the vSphere beta software in your environment today.

Join the vSphere Beta Program today at: http://vmw.re/1tVH3Mf

There will be a technical previews pod in the VMware booth (1229) showcasing some of the features in this vSphere Beta. Please stop on by to learn more.

VMware and OpenStack – Dawning Of A New Day

Yesterday was an exciting day for Team OpenStack at VMware. Our CEO Pat Gelsinger used the VMworld opening keynote to make two exciting announcements that surely caught the attention of developers, IT and the technology community at large. First, he announced VMware Integrated OpenStack, our new distribution of the open source OpenStack code. Then, Pat […]]> Yesterday was an exciting day for Team OpenStack at VMware. Our CEO Pat Gelsinger used the VMworld opening keynote to make two exciting announcements that surely caught the attention of developers, IT and the technology community at large. First, he announced VMware Integrated OpenStack, our new distribution of the open source OpenStack code. Then, Pat announced a new collaboration with Google, Docker and Pivotal highlighting our commitment to making sure container-based solutions run great on VMware infrastructure.

OpenStack distributions? Open source software partnerships? This doesn�t seem to fit the oversimplified story you often hear in the media about �open source vs. VMware.�

In reality, the story is more nuanced, and in fact, over the past few years, VMware has developed a track record of embracing open software frameworks where they provide clear value to our customers. To understand the bigger picture, we first need to talk about the key role open frameworks are playing in the new era of software development.

Enabling Developer Agility Through Open Frameworks

Developers of next-generation applications have embraced a fully automated model of accessing data center infrastructure via APIs. When building these new apps, they use APIs to provision their apps, APIs to scale those apps up and down, and APIs to release the resources when they are done. Ultimately, this is about enabling agility: allowing them to build and modify their applications more quickly, thereby moving their business forward faster.

To simplify their lives, developers of modern apps don�t want to deal with the data center infrastructure directly. Rather, they want to leverage a framework that layers on top of that infrastructure, and gives them a more abstract model against which they build their application. These frameworks are often open standards or based on open source, because open frameworks have an easier time establishing mindshare and creating an ecosystem of associated tools, libraries, etc. and because open frameworks carry the potential to offer significantly improved workload portability across varied types of infrastructure.

Open frameworks come in all shapes and sizes, including Java frameworks (e.g., Spring) to data analytics (e.g. Hadoop), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (e.g., OpenStack), Platform-as-a-Service (e.g. Cloud Foundry) and containers (e.g. Docker). VMware has helped lead the creation of several of these frameworks while others are examples of where we recognized good work started elsewhere and moved to add support within our solutions. Either way, if our customers see strong potential in a framework, we have taken steps to enable them through products such as the vFabric Suite (Spring), vSphere Big Data Extensions (Hadoop), Pivotal CF (Cloud Foundry), and now VMware Integrated OpenStack.

VMware�s OpenStack Involvement

Part of enabling any open framework for customers is having skin in the game. VMware is investing its own development resources to help build the OpenStack framework. VMware has been a gold member of the OpenStack foundation since 2012, we are one of the largest companies contributing to OpenStack, adding code to integrate our technologies such as VMware vSphere and VMware NSX™ and enhance the project as a whole. In fact, in the latest release of OpenStack (Icehouse), VMware was the #4 contributor to the official set of �integrated� OpenStack projects, which are the core OpenStack projects like Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Glance, Keystone, Horizon, Swift, etc. that most people recognize. While such numbers only tell part of the story, it�s an indicator that VMware is investing considerably in OpenStack integration, and that data is available for all to see here.

VMware is committed to making sure that the best way to run OpenStack is on VMware. Whether a customer wants to consume VMware technologies as components along with the open source code or a partner OpenStack distribution, or chooses to use VMware Integrated OpenStack, they will achieve a new level of agility for developers by offering them powerful, vendor-neutral OpenStack APIs on top of VMware�s enterprise-class infrastructure.

Since launching VMware Horizon DaaS on vCloud Air, in March of this year, we�ve had the opportunity to listen and learn from our customers and partners. The feedback has been clear: customers love the ability to reap all the benefits of virtual desktops, while consuming them in an OPEX model that enables them to lower costs and gain greater agility.

The powerful combination of Horizon 6 and Horizon DaaS is empowering organizations with the best of both worlds: on-premises VDI and cloud-hosted desktops for a hybrid approach that is unmatched in the industry today.

Today, we are continuing the innovation seen in Horizon 6, with new services that expand the use cases for Horizon DaaS and make it the leading offering for organizations looking to make the transition to a cloud workspace. Horizon DaaS updates that will debut in September include:

Apps as a Service – customers will now have the ability to publish applications and shared desktops using RDS infrastructure from VMware Horizon DaaS. With this new functionality, Horizon DaaS becomes the only service in the market today that allows IT to deliver cloud-hosted desktops and RDS-hosted shared desktops and apps from a single cloud service and through a single end-user experience.

Expansion to Europe – customers in Europe will now have the ability to take advantage of all Horizon DaaS services, including cloud-hosted virtual desktops and apps from the vCloud Air UK datacenter in Slough. Additionally, multinational organizations can consume DaaS from US and EMEA datacenters to deliver the best experience to their users.

Cloud bursting with monthly terms – our customers across retail, government, education and other industries have asked for the ability to support their seasonal business needs with shorter term options. To support this ability to burst to the cloud we are now offering monthly terms for all of our services.

High performance desktop – in addition to our Standard and Advanced virtual desktops, we are releasing a new virtual desktop designed for developers and engineers who need a high performance desktop. The new Enterprise desktop will have 4 vCPU, 8GB vRAM, and 120 GB HD.

These new updates will enable us to continue to support Horizon DaaS customers across the wide variety of verticals and use cases that require full virtual desktops, shared desktops, or hosted apps.

Join us to learn more about these Horizon DaaS updates at VMworld at these key sessions:
