Comments on: Towards making Cloud services more consumable by enterprises http://stage.vambenepe.com/archives/569 William Vambenepe's stage Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:33:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rodrigo http://stage.vambenepe.com/archives/569#comment-470 Rodrigo Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:00:38 +0000 http://stage.vambenepe.com/?p=569#comment-470 Thanks for the updates William. We do seem to get tangled in our bootlaces sometimes. The product is now available for a free trial at: http://www.newscale.com/vmware. The trial is specific to VMware vcenter. It's provides a catalog, self-service portal, integration with vCenter and it's provided as an appliance so install and config is a breeze. This is our low cost Workgroup edition. I'm hoping we can put out the EC2 version in workgroup edition as well. And if I had my way, it'd be free. We shall see. As you rigthly point out, there's a new balance coming. IT operations needs to be as easy to do business as the cloud providers. On the other hand, cloud providers need to make it easy for IT organizations to adopt the model. We have many steps to go, but everyone is running fast. - Rodrigo Thanks for the updates William. We do seem to get tangled in our bootlaces sometimes.
