Gelsinger On Citrix, AWS Expansion Plans And Satya Nadella Relationship
CEO Pat Gelsinger says VMware is gaining share against the likes of Citrix and other competitors in end-user computing as the virtualization and hybrid cloud star lays out its plans to double down on its AWS partnership.
“Overall in our end-user computing business, we've been gaining share vis-à-vis from Citrix and everybody else in that category,” said Gelsinger, in an interview during Bank of America’s 2020 Global Technology Conference last week.
VMware is coming off a successful first fiscal quarter 2021, which ended May 1, despite the coronavirus pandemic financial disruption. The Palo Alto, Calif-based company generated $2.73 billion in sales, up 12 percent year over year, along with subscription and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revenue up 17 percent to $1.23 billion.
