IBM Cloud Will Host VMware Horizon Air, SugarCRM

#VMware parent company #EMC acquired public cloud supplier Virtustream for $1.2 billion in May of 2015, and VMware's own #vCloud Air service's relationship to it has been in question ever since. In October, VMware acknowledged that its executive vice president for vCloud Air, Bill Fathers, would not be part of the managerial team running Virtustream, but that Virtustream was EMC's preferred service as it goes into the acquisition deal with Dell.

At the end of April, VMware announced that Fathers had left the company to pursue other interests. Fathers was the former president of Savvis managed services. He had been hired away from CenturyLink in 2013 after that firm's acquisition of Savvis in order to head up VMware's public cloud launch. Several other key VMware executives, including COO Carl Eschenbach, had departed ahead of him.
