At a behind-the-scenes Q&A, Pat Gelsinger explained that VMware still viewed Amazon as its main cloud buddy.
But VMware is key to Amazon's growth in a crucial cloud computing market known as hybrid computing. That's when companies use the cloud for some things, their own data centers for other things, and it all works perfectly together .
It's how the majority of companies — especially large companies — will think about cloud computing in the near term, and maybe forever. While Amazon has only just recently started to create a few of its own products to serve hybrid computing, VMware already has half a billion customers using its software on its own servers and data centers. That means there's a lot of upside in connecting their two worlds.
