: Promises silos for VMs, storage, and networks are out. Happy cloud-like days are in, without hyperscale complications

573 days after closing the acquisition of VMware, Broadcom has released the product that expresses its vision for the virtualization giant's future and what it claims is the template for a modern private cloud.

Shenoy said cloud admins can now manage storage, compute, and virtual networks as a single entity, and that virtual machines and containers are both first-class citizens.."The idea is not to have a component-based way of looking at infrastructure. The components disappear. The philosophical intent is to look at applications."that vVols adoption was in the"low single digits," and said VMware's existing Virtual Machine File System is a more-than-capable replacement.

Ever since the mid-2000s when VMware emerged as the de facto server virtualization standard, the company has talked up its ability to calculate the cost of running workloads so IT departments can"chargeback" or"" – send real or indicative bills to internal users. VCF 9 now includes enhanced analytics it says can do both with greater nuance.

often hears that customers do so grudgingly, because the product is expensive and Broadcom uses various tactics that make it harder to acquire VMware's server-virtualization-centric bundles. Some customers therefore buy VCF but don't implement all its components.
