It's About Time Oracle and VMware Partnered Up

When Microsoft changed CEOs in February 2014 and decided to go into cahoots with Linux developers and the open source community, it represented a major breakthrough in the IT business. Then in late 2018, IBM announced that it would acquire Red Hat (the deal closed for $34 billion on July 9), ending a lot of sales competitiveness and adding some creativity in the market. Now, as amazing as it seems, VMware and Oracle sworn enemies for years, though not in the open source world—are now playing nicely together in catering to all those thousands of customers globally who are using them both in the data center and in the cloud. Five or six years ago, who knew all these scenes would take place? Safe to say that it's about time this happened.
