Worried by VMware's executive exodus? Dell should be

"To lose one parent May be Regarded as a misfortune," Oscar Wilde is reputed to Have Said, before adding "to lose two looks like carelessness."

What to say then a VMware? In recent weeks lost to CFO Johnathan Chadwick, the mastermind behind the NSX network virtualization product Martin Casado, and now COO Carl Eschenbach? Last year, she lost a long time the chief technology Fathi.

Virtzilla is unlucky? Or Careless? There is a case to be made for both.

VMware was negligent delay, flubbing patches, launching VSAN advice to use hardware With That just does not do an adequate job of running a SAN, and arrogantly Assuming That users would not bring new to old licenses EVO: RAIL hyper-converged devices.

The company backed away from ITS Present ambition to be a top level player ranking alongside AWS cloud, Azure, Google and SoftLayer. VMware ADMITTED I Could not match the purchasing power of rivals, but always Aimed high. And failed.

As ZettaGrid man NOTED Anthony Spiteri, many other irritations in VMware products Appear
When Desktop Virtualization registry Mentioned Some of These careless VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger incidents last year, I have some business unit managers Said Have endured "Director's office trips" for a dressing down.

Frames as Chadwick, Married and Eschenbach are all at some point in Their careers When sorting the mess probably like a chore. So cost negligence VMware May Have quality people.

On the front of bad luck, being supported by Dell was not entirely predictable. For the likes of Chadwick, served as CFO in WHO listed entities, it is understandable motivation for nominal demotion Becomes a career change. Casado has not signed not to be a cog in the wheel of Dell. With VMware Eschenbach has-been for over a decade, a fine but cold start relay to give anyone fidgets.

When Considering Married and Eschenbach, Consider Their destination for venture firms capital. the history of the growth of business software out VMware contest the last decade (I put the likes of Salesforce are in another category). That His people are likely to identify identity Considered and nurture new is a ringing endorsement Businesses of VMware.

Virtualization The Reg office is happy to come to the side of evil rather than neglect.

VMware new generation of managers Have a powerful legacy With Which to work. INITIALLY Execs put the Business with strong growth prospects in virtualization network and end-user computing.

So good luck to live up to the achievements of your predecessors, VMware execs Promoted recently. And good luck to the mega-merger work, talent and ironing Retain Kinks recent VMware, Michael Dell. ®
