VMware and Salesforce.com Building New Java Cloud Platform called VMforce. VMforce will make it easier for companies to deploy and manage Java applications in the cloud, said Andrew Dutton general manager of Asia-Pacific and Japan for VMware, during a conference call with reporters. This new Java Cloud Server Platform is set to come out in the second half of this year.
As of right now details on pricing and the start of commercial availability of the service are not available or made open to the public but I’m pretty sure that they will be affordable.
“VMforce combines Salesforce.com’s cloud-computing infrastructure with VMware’s vSphere virtualization software. Ths combination will simplify the process of bringing Java applications into the cloud — something that Java developers have been clamoring for”, Dutton said.
