VMWare Enters the Cloud

VMWare is the virtualization king and I have been wondering when they would chose to enter the cloud competition. Until now, it's pretty much been Amazon's game to win or lose. According to this article, VMWare is opening a data center in Washington state. The new data center will be 189,000 square feet, of which VMWare will use over 100,000 square feet of it. That's a nice size data center.

An interesting side note os that VMWare is not the first to build a data center in the area. Microsoft, Yahoo, Intuit, Ask.com and base partners also have, or are building, data centers in the area. The article attributes that to cheaper electricity from the local dams generating hydro power.

The post seems to be more informative and interesting about the Cloud Computing. By the way have you heard about the job sites Cloudjobs.net which is the best online source for the job seekers in Cloud Computing and its services.

Thanks for the stuff given. I am very much interested in cloud computing. So I have participated in the Cloud Computing Virtual Conference 2009 and gathered much information about it. It was very useful to me.
