Ode to George Jefferson, VMware and Nicira

RIP Sherman Helmsley, the great George Jefferson

VMware acquires Nicira

We’ll were movin on up

In the cloud stack

To a deluxe datacenter, made of software

Moving on up

In the cloud stack

We’re finally getting network marketshare.

VMs got stuck in the rack

VLANs just didn’t scale

Took a whole lotta tryin’

Configs not to let things fail

Now we’re up in the big leagues

Getting our turn at nets

As long cloud scales, it’s you and me baby

There ain’t nothing washed about that

We’ll were movin on up

In the cloud stack

To a deluxe DC, made of software

Moving on up

In the cloud stack

We’re finally getting network marketshare.
