As of today, Continuent is part of VMware. We are absolutely over the moon about it.
You can read more about the news on the VMware vCloud blog by Ajay Patel, our new
boss. There’s also an official post on our Continuent company blog. In a nutshell
the Continuent team is joining the VMware Cloud Services
Division. We will continue to improve, sell, and support our
Tungsten products and work on innovative integration into
VMware’s product line.
So why do I feel exhilarated about joining VMware? There are
three reasons.
1. Continuent is joining a world-class
company that is the leader in virtualization and cloud
infrastructure solutions. Even better, VMware understands the
value of data to businesses. They share our vision of
managing an integrated fabric of standard DBMS platforms, both in
public clouds as well as in local data centers. It is a great
home to advance our work for many years to come.
2. We can continue to support our
existing users and make Tungsten even better. I know many of you
have made big decisions to adopt Continuent technology that would
affect your careers if they turned out badly. We now have more
resources and a mandate to grow our product line. We will be able
to uphold our commitments to you and your businesses.
3. It’s a great outcome for our team,
which has worked for many years to make Continuent Tungsten
technology successful. This includes our investors at Aura in
Helsinki, who have been dogged in their support throughout our
journey.
Speaking of the Continuent team…I am so proud of what all of you
have achieved. Today we are starting a new chapter in our
work together. See you at VMware!
