Terry Wise On Public Cloud, VMware And Innovation
The answer to the heated public cloud versus private cloud total cost of ownership debate is clear to Amazon Web Services' leader Terry Wise.
"I have yet to run into a customer, when you really dive into the details, where public cloud is not a better economic value proposition," said Wise vice president of global alliances, channels and ecosystem for AWS, in an interview with CRN.
Wise, who has over 25 years of IT sales leadership experience, says the public cloud cost benefits exceed what software-defined private clouds can offer. He also says that VMware Cloud on AWS has "changed" the debate on public versus private cloud. In an interview with CRN, Wise talks about slashing the price of VMware Cloud on AWS in half, the technology roadmap ahead with VMware, and why public cloud reigns supreme over private cloud.
