Today we are going to take a look at an Open Source company that is accelerating data with their storage engine, but we are also going to see how moving to an open source model really accelerated their growth.

Building out technology infrastructure for many companies is a huge challenge. If you aren't a large enterpriser you often lack the expertise to satisfy the needs of your business.

VMWorld Part 2
“With Project Pacific, we are brining the largest infrastructure community the largest set of operators, the largest set of customers directly to the Kubernetes. We will be the leading enabler of Kubernetes.” -Pat Gelsinger
The big announcement of the show was the acquisition of Pivotal Software and Carbon Black.
I mentioned in my previous video that I thought the show was well attended.

I also heard comments that there were a lot of VMWare employees in attendance to help boost the numbers. While that may be true, the booths were all pretty packed and there was a lot of good conversations happening. I don’t think the vendors who had booths were disappointed.
