Post merger, Dell EMC mixes it up with Virtustream for managed hybrid cloud

Behemoths #AmazonWebServices Inc., #GoogleCloudPlatform and #Microsoft Corp.’s #Azure might not have the entire cloud market cornered after all. Having tried large public clouds, some businesses find they lack crucial management oversight, according to Mike Franco (pictured, right), principal solution architect at #Virtustream Inc. “Clients are saying, ‘That was good, but as we start moving to these mission-critical applications, the applications that are running my business, we need a managed service,'” Franco said. Virtustream provides managed cloud services for both on-prem, off-prem and the gray area in between — that is, it shepherds on-prem companies transitioning to cloud. Franco spoke with Stu Miniman (@stu) (pictured, left), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during this week’s WTG Dell EMC Users’ Group event in Boston, Massachusetts. (* Disclosure below.) EMC Corp. acquired Virtustream for $1.2 billion in 2015. Since EMC merged with Dell Inc. last year, Dell has leveraged Virtustream to beef up its cloud strategy.
