Finally the news seems to be coming out...
VMware plans to turn over SpringSource, Cloud Foundry, GemStone and
other non-core technologies over to a new EMC-owned subsidiary, GigaOM
has learned. The move helps separate the money-making,
enterprise-focused VMware business from the future CloudFoundry unit
that will compete against Amazon and Microsoft Azure.
VMware is finally getting ready to spin off most of its non-core
products to an EMC-run subsidiary, GigaOM has learned. If everything
goes according to plan, the move will be announced next week, according
to several sources familiar with the effort.
