Is Virtustream going going gone ?

There was one other revelation during Wednesday’s conference with Judge Koeltl: Dell’s attorney, Michael Burkhardt, said employees of its Virtustream division are being laid off immediately. Virtustream writes and distributes software that enables service providers to set up an enterprise-class cloud infrastructure, and lets enterprises set up their own private cloud infrastructure as a service offering. The other major players in this field are Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and IBM Cloud.

Dell did not comment on this news, and Burkhardt did not respond to my request for a comment as of press time.
