At present, with the continuous iterative upgrade of cloud computing technology, enterprises in various industries have accelerated the deployment process of modern applications based on cloud platforms. Developers of various enterprises are looking for a unified and advanced set of automated support and operation methods to help them accelerate the process of modernizing their architecture and better support the operation and development of enterprises.
As the world's leading cloud infrastructure and mobile commerce solution provider, VMware recently released the latest upgrades of its multi-cloud strategy and cloud infrastructure solutions. At the VMware cloud infrastructure media communication meeting, VMware senior vice president and general manager of the cloud platform division Krish Prasad, senior director of product marketing Weiguo He, and senior technical market architect Dave Morera introduced VMware's latest strategy and solution upgrades.
The three major focus areas of VMware's multi-cloud strategy
Krish Prasad pointed out that first of all, the cloud native platform launched by VMware's multi-cloud strategy mainly focuses on developers, allowing developers to build and deliver online applications. VMware provides these developers with the most advanced, Cutting-edge solutions that help them create and build applications that are available on any cloud platform in a cloud-neutral way. VMware's DevOps development and operation team will work efficiently with developers. No matter which cloud platform developers choose, VMware has a unified set of automated support and operation methods to support these developers and help customers deploy and operate in their cloud models. Corresponding application.

And in this space, VMware's VMware Cloud Foundation software is deployed on many endpoints, whether it's large public cloud providers, partner communities, and deployments in on-site and edge environments. Finally,
is a solution for hybrid work teams. For employees in large enterprises, VMware provides a secure and seamless working environment for large enterprises to help employees work remotely and access work from multiple locations. The above three strategic areas provide a trustworthy infrastructure that can be used to support the operation of customer enterprises.
vSphere+ and vSAN+ empower local workloads
Weiguo He, senior director of product marketing at VMware, said that in response to customers' needs for local workloads during the cloud migration process, VMware launched vSphere+ and vSAN+. These two products can bring the advantages of the cloud to the local area. Among the workloads, it helps customers establish a path to the cloud in the future. This is also another major technological evolution of VMware cloud infrastructure solutions. Over the past few decades, VMware cloud infrastructure has evolved from a very simple virtual machine to a multi-cloud workload platform that can run all enterprise-level business-critical applications, including traditional applications, modern applications, and machine learning. artificial intelligence workload, real-time workload, bare metal workload, etc.
In addition, through vSphere+ and vSAN+ and VMware Cloud Console, customers can get a series of additional services of hybrid cloud , which can help customers transform the way they run local workloads.
vSAN is a hyper-converged architecture storage. vSphere+ and vSAN+ can deliver the advantages of the cloud to local workloads, bringing many high-value infrastructure services while enhancing productivity and accelerating the innovation process of developers. It can also be integrated through the cloud. Transform local infrastructure.
Weiguo He emphasized that customers can now establish a gateway with VMware Cloud Console in vCenter to uniformly manage VMware Cloud solutions. For example, in VMware Cloud AWS, users can register multiple vCenters in VMware Cloud Console and switch to subscription mode. Throughout the entire process, workloads and hosts are not interrupted and can remain local. Customers can also receive some fully customer-managed manager services, such as multi-cloud services, cloud disaster recovery services, ransomware recovery and other additional cloud services.
Specifically, first of all, vSphere+ and vSAN+ empower IT administrators to simplify operation and maintenance through cloud automation, and can jointly manage multiple vCenters; they can also centralize event warnings, correct configuration drift, and better integrate vSphere and vSAN Configure virtual machines in the cluster while further reducing risks, and can also perform health checks for all vSphere infrastructure to assess the security posture and take appropriate actions.
Secondly, for application development and DevOps, VMware has also added some new services in vSphere+ to improve the productivity of developers and administrators. It also has a Kubernetes management platform, which allows developers to enjoy Kubernetes clusters and can span Different Kubernetes clusters are managed in a unified manner to reduce costs, improve security and efficiency, and improve developer experience.
VMware has also launched extended cloud services, such as data protection workflows, which allow customers to easily protect or recover data. By using VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery, customers can recover from disasters or ransomware, and can also expand resources. In addition, fine-grained recovery can minimize data loss, while snapshot storage in the air-spaced horizontal extended file system can also protect data well.
Krish Prasad pointed out that there are now hundreds of partners around the world to help customers deploy and run vSphere, and VMware will continue to have such a partner network in the future.
From cloud native to hybrid cloud and cross-cloud services, VMware creates a common platform. VMware continues to innovate on this platform and combines it with open source to allow customers to develop, run, manage and protect their environments. No matter where the customer's workload is, VMware has a seamless cloud experience to deliver. From the infrastructure stack to the developer stack to the application stack, VMware can support customers in all aspects. (Text/Xu Peiyan)
