welcome to the Windy City everybody you're watching the cube the leader in live tech coverage my name is Dave Volante I'm here with my co-host Stuart men immense dude this is our second year of covering v-mon you've painted the town in green we certainly have we've been talking about for I can't even now tell you how long data is at the center of it all companies are taking a new look at what does it really mean to ensure that I know where all my data is that I ensure it's protected and that it's in compliance all this challenges are much bigger part of them not just the day that backup remedy company's overall data management pirate market which is much bigger and more and more companies are digitizing their organization and for us we're kind of the ones that keep that up and running and I think it was important for us to make sure that message gets out but some years we've been saying women's VMware only the most right there be only we will never do physical crappier would always say we're just gonna do virtual virtual well in the enterprise that can't be there's ten fifteen twenty percent of all these enterprises that are gonna stay physical so last year we introduced a comprehensive m2m platform now we can do virtual physical and cloud for our enterprise customers for everybody but we see it more in the entry box allowing workloads to move seamlessly across multi clouds Rob I they soon go play on glass to manage all your data it grows the cloud there's a dichotomy between what the businesses expect in terms of the levels of data protection the levels of orchestration and automation that exist and what IT can deliver and it seems like beam is trying to fill that gap they did what most of the big companies do they start off with a partner day beams all about their partner you cannot be a platform provider without an ecosystem that's embracing and extending the value merging that value proposition together with these companies and brought about a tremendous impact on just a customer success they are experienced in in leveraging our technology they want to make sure that if I'm buying something from you it'll integrate into my existing environment so I don't have to do a complete rip and replace that's a very expensive proposition this is a company that has grown from you know very small to quite large it's gonna be probably close to a billion dollars in bookings this year we're not losing kind of what made us great which get in the door just get in the door to any of these companies go into coca-cola just get in the door and then do a really good job and expand from there which is really what we've been doing since the beginning but they've taken over Chicago VM is famous for its parties part vmworld and other big events work hard way card them so VM is known for having the best parties pleasure seeing you and congratulations on all your success thank you very much this day Volante with stew minimun you're watching the cube live from Chicago v-mon 2018 [Music]
