VMware releases a better Cloud Foundation for MSPs

VMware has emitted a major release of its Cloud Foundation product that managed service providers will appreciate, and which also shows a lot of love for HP Enterprise.Cloud Foundation is VMware’s bundle of all the products it feels is needed to create a hybrid cloud. It therefore includes vSphere for compute virtualization, VSAN for software-defined storage and NSX for network virtualization.VMware’s pitch for the product is that if you install it both on-prem and in a cloud, you’ll quickly get the ability to move workloads between the two locations. Whether or not you like the taste of that Kool-Aid, the product is pitched at MSPs – as reflected in the fact that IBM, OVH and Rackspace offer services based on Cloud Foundation.
