VMware announcing new cloud computing products

It's interesting that VMware has just announced six new cloud computing products at VMworld in San Francisco this week. 

VMware announced six new vCloud products. The headliner here is the vCloud Director, which is designed to model and deliver IT infrastructure services. The idea here is to create virtual data centers and computing pools. There were other security products such as vShield and vShield Edge as well as vCloud Datacenter Services, interoperable clouds.

Not surprisingly, it seems obvious that VMware is going to make a strong inroad into cloud computing. The company is also making important partnerships with other vendors and providers to strengthen their strategy and offering. From ZDNet:

The company also outlined its consulting services and partnerships with the likes of Hewlett-Packard to create private clouds. Verizon will also include VMware’s applications in its computing as a service lineup.
