from Las Vegas it's the queue covering VMworld 2018 brought to you by VMware and its ecosystem partners welcome back to the cube here in Las Vegas at VMworld 2018 I'm Stu moon with a co-host John we're happy to welcome to the program believes the first time guests know woz Murr who is the senior vice president and general manager of EUC or end-user tutoring at VMware thanks so much for joining us yeah absolutely thrilled to be here great show this year ya know we do a lot of interviews but we don't have enough room for every single GM but we're excited we got a lot going on at this show I mean we've been watching since Sanjay got put in charge of that group of years ago big acquisitions like AirWatch so tell us the the big news yeah I mean there's there's several things that we know a great a great opportunity for us to showcase some of the big big opera leases with work space one you know that we're finding that customers you know really have loved our product for ios and android we've had a lot of customers doing virtual desktops virtual apps now with workspace one we've brought all of it together seamless where they can now manage iOS Android Windows 10 obviously huge in the market both physical and virtual all with one tool and now even Mac right one of the big initiatives we've seen as Mac is a choice right where where employees say hey you know I really want to use a Mac but you know obviously there's one or two windows apps that we have to bring to Mac to make it successful in the enterprise and so obviously workspace one really bringing that together I mean know what you were early in VMware and left for a while came back you've been kind of the art one of the architects of this thing I was at VMware and it's doing with history and EMC you know on the server storage side there was this explosive excitement around virtualization and then desktop virtualization VDI came in that's right and I don't you know we were joking before about the earth video your VDI but it's been there its I went there it's a it's been more of a slow burn but it's it's it's crazy now and it's working and it's here what has been I'm just kind of curious what has been your philosophy and where you want to take VMware now that these you know but with all these technologies super useful super valuable kind of and trance I mean to use some buzzwords transforming the workspace right and it's real so yeah you know the first and foremost you know I think one of the things that we've done is we've matured virtual desktops virtual applications is is really look at what are the right use cases that they come in right you know I think for a while it was every PC is gonna be replaced with virtual and and I think we've you know now seen where it makes sense it's a phenomenal technology right where we have you know folks working from home in sensitive data can we deliver that secure you know real-time experience so I think we've become a lot smarter the second thing is that heterogeneity is now everywhere right people want to work on all these different devices you know there's there's there's Windows and Mac and Chromebooks and and people really want to have that that ability to work anywhere on any platform that they choose you know CIOs are telling us that that they're having a hard time recruiting key talent if they don't give a you know users choice right and so virtualization now helps us it helps us do that a little bit more in a more sophisticated way the other thing is that now people can start to run these workloads a little simpler in the cloud right we introduced Verizon cloud now and SoftLayer and you know on VMC as well now with this you're right so now you're seeing all the tech titans come together say you know run it on your local laptop run it in the cloud so we really see a lot of synergies again bring it back to workspace born yeah I like that the discussion choice you mentioned a whole bunch of cloud tech I made a joke that you know they have both Coke and Pepsi in the solutions Expo you know you can choose your containerized beverage of choice that's right there but at the same time sometimes people don't understand is that when Dells in the mix with VMware Dell has you know some really good history with everything down to the desktop I think back to the wise acquisition absolutely like so what is that whole stack you know if you will look like when you put it together how does that fit yeah it Dell has been a fantastic partner you know we you know as passed out on stage you know we announced a partnership with HP last year Dell this year Dell has done a phenomenal job now with what's called Dell provisioning for workspace one where out of the box you can take a physical Dell PC power it up and go directly into that that local management you know that is managed over over-the-air that you deliver the right applications the right services the right security patch and one of the really interesting things as you know del command tools underlying the OS now can be all managed by workspace one you know you tie that to you know the solutions like del complete where you can get VDI in a whole stack with Dell now you can start to say you know bring together that that whole solution of physical laptops virtual you know really make sense to tie it all together with Dell as an overall provider of the complete solution for enterprise you know one of the interesting things in the cloud evolution last few years is the is the rise of GPUs right we know it's not just a box of x86 and your 616 I've got all these GPUs in the cloud that kind of boomerang straight back to the desktops and how how important is that and how can the workspace you know horizon horizon and workspace view is one of those things I wish we can have the one a couple of customers I talk to you today said you know I said how's it going you know just flat out you tell us the goods the bads and they said I have to say the horizon experience is amazing right and part of that I think is because we have that back-end GPU power that we've never had before where you know there's it literally is difficult to tell the difference between physical and virtual you know we have a lot of our customers some in an auto and anytime people are using CAD or healthcare where they're trying to do rendering of imagery they can now use these back-end GPUs to actually get that full fidelity experience so it's really been opening up the use cases and really making this a real solution for especially highly regulated environments that's super nice so I mean a lot of news product news right that came out anything that you're particularly excited about I want to highlight you know one of the the biggest things is what we call workspace one intelligence I mean every software company here is saying you know analytics and and the machine learning and you know and I'd love to bring it back to you some real-world scenarios you know one of the areas that we all know app compatibility right when we're going for that latest upgrade now with Windows 10 upgrading every six months or so we've been able to look at that and say you know which apps are going to be incompatible how do we go fix them before we do the rollout and that also comes back to user experience right guaranteeing that the users are going to have a great experience making sure that we get those patches down but doing it in a smart way so that we don't break the user experience at the end of the day I really do think that that is going to be a major thrust you know for much of the industry as we get you know bigger and better one of the the facts that I know it's a it's interesting to note just six months in for 150 billion events ingest at a month on this cloud service right and we're just at the very beginning so you're gonna see some numbers over the next coming quarters and months and just how we're able to improve experience really remediates security almost instantly you know be able to do things like you know get rid of the mundane tasks and start to automate out you know some of these these trivial things alright so no I talking to some of the community members and security came up and and specifically around to you see it was like okay NSX I understand but security should s be table stakes in this environment shouldn't be something else it seemed to be a little bit of frustration with how it how it is today you know what's your feet I think Pat really said it well is that that security has to be built in right has to be intrinsic into into what we're building you know one of the things that you've seen we have this solution called trust network where we're what we're trying to do is take the information that we're ingesting all these data points of mobile devices Mac Winton and now start to share that in a way that that partners like CrowdStrike carbon black Symantec McAfee checkpoint Palo Alto you know 11 different providers all looking at that and saying if I correlate your data with my data we are getting insights that we've never seen before right and the the interesting thing about it is that the difference is real-time remediation right you see an event and so for example think about it from from your iPhone right if you jailbreak your iPhone within 30 milliseconds we can say hey you know let's let's eliminate enterprise data leave your personal stuff alone right we don't we don't care we don't want to know but let's get enterprise data off now how about on Windows 10 the same same opportunity right something looks strange listen well you know you're authenticating on this laptop and somebody else is authenticating over in you know Europe let's just pump for a multi-factor right like hey something looks wrong let's take a real-time remediation that's the difference that's the new game-changer that we see in this new modern era is is this ability to see something and just start to go into a normal escalation path of something might be wrong let's let's actually taking that and take an action no want to give you the final takeaway you know you've you've been in this part of the market for a while it's gone through a lot of changes for people that hadn't looked at a little bit what's what's the takeaway you want them to have no I think first and foremost is that this is a journey right this isn't like ESX where you pop a CD into the ROM and hit power on and like all right we're ready to go this is one that we say you know every three months can we say how we're either improving user experience improving security or radically changing the cost paradigm of management right and that's where we say hey you want to roll it office 365 let's make that you know a goal for the next three months hey you want to you know you want to figure out how to improve access to every SAS application in your environment great that's next hey do you want to figure out you know how are you gonna get better insight to where cost is or you want to move workloads out to the cloud here's how we can help you do that that makes our or our partners our customers heroes every three months right getting out in front of that CIO and saying here's what we're delivering for the business there's real business value okay and just in case for our audience a a CD was a thing before he had that's right driver we could have been it was this physical world that we lived in as opposed to today it's more virtual and the clouds that's right thanks so much there's a pleasure to work with you John Troyer I'm Stu minimun stay with us more coverage here from VM roll 2018 thanks for watching the Q thanks a lot [Music]
