Much easy to guess, this edition is mainly focussed on cloud computing, pretty much like everywhere else in the Industry. The much awaited Parallels summit 2010 was held on lovely Fontainebleau in Miami Beach on Feb 22-24. Parallels CEO Serguei Beloussov outlined the company’s vision for the Cloud, from his keynotes, Parallels will be more concentrating on small to medium business (SMB) which predicted will grow to nearly $19 billion by 2013.
“Considerable growth is predicted in Cloud services for small businesses as they provide a low cost, easy solution for these organizations, who need an increasing range of IT services, but have very little IT knowledge and limited budgets,” said Beloussov.
In his keynotes, Parallels admitting that VMware ESX is the best hypervisor on the market, but “except for its price” comparing to Parallels virtualization tools. Secondarily, he indirectly admitted that Parallels competitor in virtualizing the hosting industry is not VMware, but vendors that offer Xen-based platforms. And this is because Amazon, with its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) which is based on Xen, is leading by example.
He also announced Parallels hired Amir Sharif, former VMware ESX Product Manager, as new Vice President of Virtualization.
Sharif will certainly provide impressive intelligence to Parallels about VMware and how his former company led and controlled the whole virtualization industry so far.
