Fundamental piece of observation

Cisco = hardware money + free software
vmware = software money + free hardware (esxi, now nsx)

Interesting points to ponder

• VMWare is more general purpose platform unlike MS and Oracle where they are more of specific narrow application for storage in virtualization
• A total of 50 Billion IT market opportunity is explored in SDDC
• Software defined ???
• compute
• storage
• network
• sexurity

Hyper cloud

• A piece of RAM with ~780GB of server memory for data center infrastructure 

VSAN
