Theresa Lanowitz, analyst and founder of voke, inc, discusses the acquisition of XenSource by Citrix and other sweeping changes occurring in and around virtualization. She specifically calls out virtual lab management as an area offering more specific value around the broad virtualization plays occurring.
Nick Carr (Why IT Doesn’t Matter) comments on the feeding frenzy around virtualization infrastructure vendors and notes (accurately) the long-term impact of consolidation. I think it was Paul Saffo, though, that said “never mistake a clear view for a short distance.” I agree with Carr’s analysis but think it will be some time before we reach that level of saturation. What do you think?
Rough Type: Nicholas Carr’s Blog: VMware, Xen and the hardware business
Dan Kusnetzky at ZDNet has some good points about the fit between XenSource and Citrix. Another analysis I saw earlier today, though, points out that XenSource has a special relationship with Microsoft where they have source level access to Veridian. Citrix, more than anyone else, knows a thing or two about what to do to capitalize on priveleged source-level access to Microsoft technologies (ie, terminal services) and so should be able to capitalize on this. Thoughts?
