SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – September 1, 2009 – Today at VMworld 2009, VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), the global leader in virtualization solutions from the desktop through the datacenter and to the cloud, announced significant advancements in the VMware vCloud™ Initiative—designed to help customers safely tap compute capacity for internal and external clouds – how they want, when they want and as much as they want.  VMware and its more than 1,000 VMware Virtualized™ service provider partners including AT&T, SAVVIS, Terremark and Verizon Business are giving customers improved flexibility and agility to respond to business needs while saving both capital and operational costs.

VMware Virtualized™ is a new program within the VMware vCloud™ Initiative for service provider cloud solutions that are interoperable and optimized for the VMware platform, designed to assure customers that VMware Virtualized cloud services offered by partners deliver a reliable, interoperable and enterprise-class experience.  Thousands of customers run their applications internally on the VMware platform, and VMware vSphere™ allows them to run their IT in an internal cloud.  VMware Virtualized cloud services are also based on VMware vSphere™ and give customers the flexibility of choice and interoperability—independent of hardware, OS, applications or providers so that customers can feel confident about developing and deploying current and future applications in the internal or external cloud.

This is very cool and moves us further to the concept of cloud as an internal and external solution for providing virtual infrastructure on demand. Could we move towards a virtual disaster recovery solution? A virtual data center?
