Cisco Systems Inc., EMC Corp. and VMware Inc. have formed a coalition to accelerate data centre virtualization and the transition to private clouds. The CEOs of the three companies announced the Virtual Computing Environment (VCE) coalition in a Webcast on Tuesday.
“I think you’ll look back five years from now and say this was the most major change in terms of the future of data centres, private clouds, pervasive virtualization that was made during a decade,” said John Chambers, CEO of Cisco.
The companies involved have “worked closely over the past year on a shared vision for the future of enterprise IT infrastructure – private cloud computing,” states a Cisco press release.
Cisco defines a private cloud as “a virtual IT infrastructure that is securely controlled and operated solely for one organization. It can be managed either by that organization or a third party, and it can exist on or off premises or in combination.”
