INDIA: VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) has announced the next evolution of VMware Cloud, which will empower customers with new editions and capabilities that will help them modernize, optimize, and better protect their organizations. With VMware Cloud, customers will be able to innovate faster, operate more efficiently, improve threat defenses, and more quickly recover from ransomware attacks.

Krish Prasad, senior vice president and general manager, the cloud infrastructure business group, VMware, said, “VMware Cloud is setting a new benchmark for helping customers modernize, optimize, and better protect their businesses. Our latest VMware Cloud advancements further modernize cloud infrastructure and deliver a single cloud operating model that improves developer productivity and advances security.”

VMware Cloud combines VMware Cloud Foundation Software and VMware Cloud Services. Cloud Foundation combines the best innovations from VMware’s on-premises and public cloud software offerings into a unified stack to deliver a consistent environment across any on-premises, hyperscaler cloud, or partner cloud environment. VMware Cloud services simplify the deployment and operations of VMware Cloud Foundation environments across any cloud or on-premises environment.

Customers can take advantage of VMware Cloud services to run enterprise workloads more securely at scale with advanced data protection, cloud-based disaster and ransomware recovery, and multi-cloud networking and security. Advanced developer services, built-in Kubernetes, and optimized access to hundreds of native cloud services across leading hyperscalers deliver a pragmatic approach to app modernization.

VMware Cloud is available in five prescriptive VMware Cloud editions (Essentials, Standard, Pro, Advanced, Enterprise) that help customers flexibly modernize infrastructure and management at every stage of their cloud transformation journey. Customers can deploy and manage their VMware Cloud environments in three ways:

  • Customer Managed-VMware Cloud editions can be deployed by customers in their own data centers or their choice of colocation partners with full control of the infrastructure environment.
  • VMware Managed-VMware Cloud on AWS is a VMware-managed cloud service with fully integrated hardware and software. VMware Cloud on Equinix Metal will be a distributed cloud service that enables customers to purchase software and hardware as a service separately for maximum flexibility.
  • Provider Managed-new VMware Cross-Cloud managed services based on VMware Cloud editions from partners such as IBM Cloud enable customers to lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for on-premises environments, simplify operations, reduce risk with observability, actionable insight, and performance optimization, and accelerate cloud migrations.

The new VMware Cloud offerings will help modernize, optimize, and better protect today’s multi-cloud enterprises. Customers will be empowered with cloud flexibility, better security and resiliency, and faster developer innovation. The new cloud-based ESXi lifecycle management service in VMware vSphere+ will enhance the operational efficiency of VMware Cloud, enabling IT admins to centrally manage upgrades across their entire ESXi fleet in distributed multi-vCenter environments, overcoming silos and completing in just a few operations what may have previously required hundreds or even thousands of operations.
