More proof that VMware is out of ideas for improving the hypervisor and is now just buying revenue.
I suppose the good news is that there are so many other on-and-off premise virtualization options these days they can't just resort to rent-seeking their existing customer base in support contracts and bogus upgrades.
Isn't VMWare owned by EMC which is owned by Dell??? So technically it's Dell doing the acquisition???
Not really. The whole thing is super weird. Pivotal is its own, public company. You can buy stock in it. But the shares are something like 60% owned by Dell Technologies, and I think VMware already owned another 18%. So no, it's an actual acquisition, by VMware... but it's all in the family, for sure.
What about adding CEPH (Not over iscsi) to VMWARE?

Are you expecting someone from VMWare to read that and reply?

Of course, this is /. after all.
