Virtualisation software vendor
VMware has become the
latest company to join the
Linux
Foundation.
The company joins such names as Dell, Google, Adobe and Intel as supporters
of the open-source advocacy group.
VMware said the decision was driven in part by its customers, who have been
asking for more Linux implementations.
"A growing number of organisations run their Linux environments on VMware
virtualisation and the Linux Foundation gives us a collaborative forum to
address the needs of our customers effectively," explained VMware vice president
of emerging projects Dan Chu.
The Linux Foundation cited VMware's list of open source projects and
initiatives in welcoming the company. The group praised VMware's release of open
source Virtual Machine Tools as well as its work on developing virtualisation
interfaces for the Linux kernel.
"Linux is a natural platform for virtualisation and cloud computing,"
declared Linux Foundation executive director Jim Zemlin.
"VMware is obviously a leader in that field and a leading independent
software vendor who has embraced the Linux platform."
