Quiz Of The Week: VMware And Virtualisation

VMware had plenty to say at VMworld in Barcelona this week, building on many of the announcements made at the US equivalent event held in San Francisco in August.

The company was busy trying to convince customers (and journalists) of its vision of the software-defined data centre and hybrid cloud with updates to its major services and rebrands of existing products.

Virtually VMware

It also announced plans to expand its vCloud Air platform with a new data centre in Germany and detailed its partner network, as well as revealing Horizon Flex, a new service that allows businesses to manage local virtual desktops on a PC and Mac.

More information about its EVO RAIL hyper-converged infrastructure range was also disclosed and a reference archectiure for the data centre scale EVO RACK was also shown off. VMware wants to virtualise as many workloads as possible, acknowledging that businesses want to use a mixture of public and private cloud so as many applications as possible can be deployed.

But what do you know about VMware and virtualisation? Are you hyperactive about hypervisors? Are you a fan of vSAN?
