VMware plans to offer a managed storage and data management service called VMware Cloud Flex Storage.

Marc Fleischmann, VMware Cloud CTO, announced Cloud Flex Storage on the VMware vSAN Virtual Blocks blog. He made waves with his quote in this third most-read story this week.

“VMware Cloud Flex Storage intelligently combines cloud-native abstractions to deliver exceptional performance and cost across traditional and modern workloads,” Fleischmann explained. “With just a few clicks in the VMware Cloud Services Console, customers can scale their storage environment without adding hosts, and elastically adjust their storage capacity up or down as needed, for every application. Customers also benefit from a simple pay-as-you-go consumption model.”
