Claiming this is a big a change as esx was. Essentially VMware is now a cloud service provider. Using co-lo facilities.
Deploying a VM is now straightforward, but adding the network, storage, firewall etc creates delay.
Extract, pool, automate is the mantra of the week
VMware services in 3 US data centres
UK available in Q1 2014
Focussing on virtual private cloud
5GHz CPU
20GB RAM
$2 per hour
10Mbps standard connection over secure tunnel or 1Gbps for virtual private cloud 10Gbps for dedicated cloud are available as dedicated lines
Data protection is an add-on service
DR as a service is available
Portal to make services available to business, including dynamic, status reports.
Shopping cart approach to purchase- multiple different pricing models
Data migration at start up is normally via physical NAS transfer.
For the hosting only you can manage using a browser. If you have existing comprehensive internal VMware environment then it is claimed to be easy to migrate vms to VMware vCloud Hybrid Services.
Thoughts: I remember asking VMware folks if they would be providing their own cloud services when they announced vCD - they said no as all the service providers would be buying vCD - this could be VMware's recognition that the service providers have largely chosen other routes?
