At the Interop Conference in Las Vegas, VMware chief technology officer Stephen Herrod explains what the additional features in the company's network-switching distribution will bring to virtualisation. One of the benefits will be allowing other companies, such as Cisco, to create a virtual switch within VMware's cloud so businesses can choose who they want to handle their networking. Rob Noth of VMware demonstrates the Cisco command line.
