VMware launched vSphere 5 today that included updates to vSphere, vShield, vCenter Site Recovery Manager, vCloud Director and the vSphere Storage Appliance.
Speaking this morning at a press event in San Francisco, VMware boss Paul Maritz said that according to various industry analysts, VMware virtual machines are about six months away from running 50 per cent of the world's server workloads – and naturally, he's intent of capturing the remaining fifty percent. "This industry is accelerating," he said. "We've put into vSphere 5 many features ... that directly speak to that acceleration, that will [help us] get the other 50 per cent of workloads."
