Call it a series of acquisitions, partnerships, and integrations, all aimed at helping VMware customers transition to the cloud—while keeping them in VMware’s warm embrace.

That includes Project Monterey and the partnerships with nVidia and Pensando, an an announcement from analysis tool vendor Runecast, and highlights from Pure Storage.
We conclude today’s episode with Day Two Cloud’s very first Tech Byte, a 15-minute sponsored conversation we had with Mike Wookey, CTO and VP of Cloud Management at VMware where we get real with AI and ML, because VMware is actually doing something with artificial intelligence for vSAN environments.
