VMware executives have revealed some crucial information on both Vblock’s roll in the Virtual Computing Environment (VCE) coalition and their plans for Hypervisor in 2010, which centers on security. The first one to be highlighted is the information disclosed by Acadia [VCE] CEO Michael Capellas concerning Vblock’s role in the data center.

“Capellas has told analysts that the VCE joint venture has 65 customers and that the average Vblock deal is $2.5m. The coalition is seeing a month-to-month growth rate of 40 per cent and has a pipeline of prospective clients and proof-of-concept buyers who could upgrade that stood at $1.2bn as of the beginning of this month.”

Based on the analysis, in the average configuration the revenue VCE brings in is $55,000 per blade on average for a Vblock 1 setup which has 16-32 blades and ranges in cost from $1M to $2.8M.

According to VMware’s Security and Network Solutions division’s Chief Technical Officer Allwyn Sequeira, VMware’s 2011 goals for Hypervisor are to build cloud applications security within Hypervisor rather than reside security “independently in the stack” and eliminate the margin for human error.
