Congratulations!

An ex employee of mine went to work for vmware and he was very positive about working there, if his experience is any guide then I'm sure you'll enjoy them. As you already wrote they're a technology company and they take their tech very serious.

So far their track record has been very impressive and they've successfully managed to hold their own against MS, something that few thought was possible.

Congratulations. This is fantastic news for redis-users like us, as well.

sant0sk1• 16 years ago

I love to see open-source projects like Redis get picked up by established technology companies and STAY open & developed. Wins all around.

Congrats, antirez!

Great news for Redis fans! Redis is getting better all the time, congrats antirez.

It seems that more and more people (and companies) and recognizing the potential of Redis. It's the default data store for projects I start. Congrats!

Awesome news Salvatore. Looking forward to seeing what VMware does with Redis.

antirez3• 16 years ago

Thank you guys! This is going to be another world for me. The latest months I worked an insane number of hours per day in order to do both Redis and my real work. Now I'll have more hours for Redis, in an environment where I'm more supported full of skilled techs, and not doing other works.

And it took him only one year (almost to the day: http://antoniocangiano.com/2009/03/11/introducing-redis-a-ke...).

This is great news. I love people getting to work on something they love and it being open source. I'd rather use a OSS product made by VMWare than Oracle any day.

tlb• 16 years ago

Congrats! I just starting using Redis + node.js for Anybots web infrastructure, and I'm very happy with it. Don't let the new company ruin it.

wildmXranat• 16 years ago

Registered just to say congrats. We love Redis and wish you all the best.

va_coder• 16 years ago

I wonder what the SpringSource/Grails/CloudFoundry division of VMWare will do with Redis.

drtse4• 16 years ago

Congratulations! I guess that this will lead to huge improvements (e.g. focus on clustering) in Redis :)

antirez3• 16 years ago

Indeed. Post 2.0 is redis-cluster time!

boundlessdreamz• 16 years ago

Congrats!

Very awesome that you side project become your real life project. Keep it going!

What exactly does VMware do? Is it like VirtualBox but better ? Closed source? Hardware solutions? (Congratz to antirez!)

EDIT: Looks like they do a VirtualBox type normal host + guest servers as well as a bare metal host setup. They have multiple open and close source versions. None of this is clear on their website which is very enterprise and unnecessarily complicated.

jacquesm3• 16 years ago

Not for one thing or another, but how on earth can you not be aware of what vmware is and what it does ?

jokull5• 16 years ago

Thought it was some virtualization but wasn't sure how it differentiated from VirtualBox for example. Jackass.

adg001• 16 years ago

Congratulazioni, notizia splendida! :-)

amix• 16 years ago

Congrats, you deserve it with all the hard work you put into Redis.

postfuturist• 16 years ago

I use Redis for a big client. It's awesome. This is good news.
