I mean, they already have some now, but the spin-off might lift a barrier, in that, VMware really would be less of a direct competitor to those organizations which might make partnering and innovation a little bit easier together,” said Sentinel’s CTO Keblusek, ranked No.
“It’s possible in the future for a company like Cisco or HPE to start to create more VMware-centric offerings. Partners said the “barrier” will eventually be lifted between VMware and some of Dell’s major storage, networking, server, cloud and hyperconverged infrastructure competitors. Maybe VMware will be more appealing for others to do similar things with vSan and native-VMware technologies, or even VMware clouds on the hyperscale clouds.” “I like the potential for sure, because I like what Dell and VMware we’re doing together on Vx:Rail, as an example, and in the hyperconverged space. “The spin-off is going to have some effect at some point between Dell and VMware,” said Robert Keblusek, CTO of Downers Grove, Ill.-based Sentinel Technologies, a fast-growing national VMware and Dell Technologies partner. Dell Technologies is set to spin off its majority stake in VMware on Monday with the potential for the virtualization and multi-cloud software superstar to form new or greatly expand its technology partnerships with the likes of Dell competitors such as Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and public cloud market leaders.
