In advance of next week's VMworld conference in San Francisco, I recently sat down with Steve Herrod, Chief TechnologyOfficer and Senior Vice President of Research & Development at VMware. Our discussion hinges on the intriguing concept of the software-defined datacenter. We look at how some of the most important attributes of datacenter capabilities and performance are now squarely under the domain of software enablement. A top technology leader at VMware, Herrod has championed this vision of the software-defined datacenter and how the next generation of foundational IT innovation is largely being implemented above the hardware. For example, those who are now building and managing datacenters are gaining heightened productivity, delivering far better performance, and enjoying greater ease in operations and management -- all thanks to innovations at the software-infrastructure level. Join the discussion here and further explore how advances in datacenter technologies and architecture are -- to an unprecedented extent -- being driven primarily through software. The discussion is moderated by Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions. Find the podcast on iTunes/iPod. Read a full transcript or download a copy. Sponsor: VMware.
