VMware Insists Amazon Deal Will Grow, Not Drain, Its Business

On #VMware ’s third-quarter earnings call—the first since the company’s parent #EMC was officially acquired by Dell—there seemed to be more talk about Amazon than of VMware’s new corporate overlord, now known as #DellTechnologies. Many questions focused on VMware’s recently announced partnership with #Amazon Web Services, the online retailer’s cloud business. The gist of that deal is that if a company runs VMware VMW 3.36% vSphere and associated software internally, it will now be easier to run those same jobs, largely unchanged, on AWS. Typically, existing legacy applications need to be rewritten or at least significantly tweaked to run on a public cloud.
