That’s a Silicon Valley bubble perspective. Everything from your kid’s school to your car dealer to your automaker is VMWare.

- lkjdsklf 3y ago> Everything from your kid’s school to your car dealer to your automaker is VMWare. While true, they also aren't buying $500k+ rack. They're running vmware on a much smaller scale.
- alephnerd 3y agoThis is true, but I wouldn't underestimate the penetration of Cloud and Container First deployments. A number of customers I've worked with in Biotech, Telecom, Retail, Defense, and Financial sectors have either completed their cloud transformation or have ongoing 3-5 year timelines to make such a move. On the mid-market side, I've been seeing organizations increasingly offload the entire IT operation to MSPs instead of managing their own ESXi server. The MSP might often be using VMWare, but a number are also transitioning away from that. I think it's premature to say container and cloud first deployments are the norm, but the change and transition is rapidly occurring.
- closeparen 3y agoI would expect most of those cloud deployments to be VMs not containers.
- alephnerd 3y agoIt's 60-40 VMs-Containers in my experience. A lot of this is highly dependent on the kind of app you are migrating as well as the scale needs.
