VMware announced a raft of improvements to its VMware Cloud platform at this week’s VMware Explore conference in Las Vegas.
Previously, VMware’s on-premises private cloud solution, VMware Cloud Foundation, and its public cloud offerings were managed separately. Now, enterprises will be able to manage all their cloud deployments from a single location. In addition, customers will see improved integrations with the major cloud providers as well as faster disaster and ransomware recovery.
Central management
“We’re actually bringing together a lot of disparate solutions under a common framework, VMware Cloud,” says Rick Walsworth, VMware’s director of product marketing for the cloud infrastructure team.
Previously, customers with on-premises infrastructure managed that in their local environment. And cloud assets were managed in their own control plane.
