VMware call’s it vSphere a “Cloud OS”

He called vSphere a “cloud OS” in that it aggregates and coordinates the underlying resources to provide integrated availability and reliability with dynamic scalability. It also integrates policies and compliance as workloads travel through the compute resources pool, he said.
Nielsen also told solution providers to prepare for the upcoming wave of virtual desktop deployment.
There are about 500 million desktop PCs currently deployed in enterprises worldwide, he said. “And I have yet to meet an IT staff that likes them,” he said.
However, Nielsen said, the key to virtual desktop infrastructure, or VDI, is to provision users with the right security, applications, and so on, and not just provision desktops. “Then whatever device the user wants to use, they can use,” he said.
Throughout the rest of 2009, VMware plans to roll out a number of facets related to VDI, including centralized management, technology to take advantage of higher-bandwidth WANs, and new ways to improve the performance of high-definition video and 3D graphics over a LAN, Nielsen said.
