At a time when layoffs and pink slips seem to be the talk of the day, atleast one company has managed a double digit % growth in 4th Quarter revenues compared to the previous year (actually 25%!!!).
Yes you read it right VMWare posts impressive results for the 4th Quarter and for the whole year 2008.
As a techie, I should confess that these numbers GAAP/Non GAAP profits/revenues really make no sense to me. What really impressed me was the lineup of strategic partnerships VMWare had announced with leading Datacenter management firms CA (vCenter Stage Manager), HP (vCenter Lab Manager) and BMC (vCenter Lifecycle Manager). This seems to be a clever move by VMWare to integrate its own virtualization managemment suite with the leading datacenter management products. This should give VMWare management products (apart from VC which is already widely accepted) better credibility in making its foray into the enterprise datacenters.
The other major announcements include vCloud initiative (will write more on this in a separate post), Mobile Virtualization platform and the highly publicized release of VMWare View.
Looking forward to another great year 2009 for VMWare and do look forward to more REGULAR POSTS in this blog :-)
Cheers,
Agent Pal
