Monday April 24, 2006 Ponder This
Monday April 24, 2006 I am really slacking on the blog front.
There is a lot happening and that is not an excuse. I do need to try
and do a better job. I've been hard at work focusing on and driving Desktop
VIrtualization Solutions at Sun. More details to come along the way.
There is a lot that really needed to fall into place. Technology and Partnerships most importantly. VMware is leading the charge in this new frontier. I believe the time is right for change. It has been a long time coming and is inevitable. I feel the only barrier is the ability to get customers from where they are today forward. It will also take customers that are ready and willing to make a change. Ironicly I meet a lot of managers that want to take this step, but feel their staff is not willign to learn a new approch. They are trying to figure out how they can get them to embrace a new way of doing things and not replace them. I meet with a lot of people and discuss this topic often and find most are slow to move, becasue of this issue around change and innovation. I would ahve loved to have that type of management at past employers as I often flet they were too conservative. Ultimately, I feel it leads to reducing the competitive edge.
VMware has announce the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. Sun is a member of this effort, as well as most the other players there you would expect. It has been great working with VMware. They are doing a really good job and have been a great partner. I am really excited about the solution we are pulling together, it very different from what others are trying to offer.
On my side, I have been heads down sorting this out, working on supporting material and meeting with customers. There has not been a lot of messaging, as we have been actually working on deployments and architectures with customers. At first I was skeptical but now that we have done some testing and deployments, I think Desktop Virtualization will play a big part in contributing to changes on the desktop.
Stay Posted...
