43. VMware vs. Rackspace Private Cloud
VMWARE CLOUD
•
•
•
•
Focus on legacy IT environments
High licensing fees
Slow release cycles
Not developer friendly
(developers will still seek 3rd party
public cloud services)
• Workload portability with public
clouds presents compatibility
issues
RACKSPACE PRIVATE CLOUD
•
•
•
•
•
Wired for DevOps and CI/CD
No software licensing fees
Fast Release Schedule
Easy API Integration
Workloads portable across
OpenStack environments
Bottom line: VMware is not ready for the new, developer-centric world of
cloud computing and can’t run your cloud for you
