VMware advances cross-cloud architecture with new releases

VMware unveiled new releases of its compute, storage and cloud management products to help IT operations teams more efficiently run, manage and secure their traditional and modern applications on- or off-premises. The new releases of VMwarevSphere, VMware Virtual SAN and VMware vRealize Automation all introduce support for containers.

These new releases advance VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture, which enables customers to run, manage, connect, and secure their applications across clouds and devices in a common operating environment. VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture builds on its private and hybrid cloud capabilities by offering customers the freedom to innovate in multiple clouds, and is delivered through VMware Cloud Foundation as well as a new set of Cross-Cloud Services.

Vmware announced at VMworld 2016 Europe it added built-in support for Kubernetes in VMware Photon Platform to enable IT operations teams to deliver Kubernetes as a Service to development teams. VMware Photon Platform will also add networking and storage services powered by VMware NSX and VMware Virtual SAN, respectively. With the addition of these new services, Photon Platform offers an enterprise cloud-native infrastructure platform for running modern, containerised applications in production with support provided by VMware.

Vmware also introduced an addition to its digital workspace portfolio with VMware Workspace One Essentials, a new standalone digital workspace platform for unified access to business data and applications.

With this addition, the expanded Workspace One platform portfolio will enable companies to standardise on digital workspaces that can extend across all end-user types and use cases for company-wide deployment. In addition, innovations in Workspace One will include enhanced security with new data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities for Office 365 and improved end-user experiences with expanded mobile single sign-on (SSO) to all enterprise web applications. Lastly, continued collaboration with Microsoft will showcase a technology preview of optimised delivery of Skype for Business in VMware Horizon that uses peer-to-peer endpoint virtual channels and offloads media processing to the endpoints.

Combined with the existing Workspace One platform portfolio, companies can now deploy a company-wide digital workspace strategy using a platform that can extend to all user types and use cases using Workspace One.
