Amazon Web Services is starting up a new unit focused on getting the Fortune 2000/mid-market segment to adopt its widgetry.
According to Network World, it has also raided VMware for the guy who’s going to be its VP of worldwide commercial sales, Mike Clayville.
Clayville has been VP of product marketing for VMware’s cloud infrastructure offerings for the last year having previously been VP of North American sales.
What’s still unclear is whether Amazon means to chase after VMware’s private cloud business while VMware tries to step on Amazon’s toes and go into the public cloud business.
