Virtualization and Cloud Management

Virtualization and Cloud Management Solutions from VMware

As the recognized leader in virtualization, we are uniquely positioned to build on this foundation with a new breed of solutions designed specifically for dynamic virtualized and cloud environments. These new solutions replace inefficient, manual processes with policy-driven automation and deliver IT management as an intrinsic part of the system rather than an afterthought.

VMware first simplified infrastructure complexity through virtualization. Now we are simplifying IT management complexity with next generation management solutions. VMware virtualization and cloud management solutions are built for dynamic environments and fundamentally change how organizations manage IT and deliver services, helping customers achieve: Zero-touch automation Policy-driven service assurance Management and cloud interoperability

The foundation of VMware vSphere and VMware vCloud Director enable a zero-touch infrastructure, with the built-in automation and policy-based control required to deploy a self-service model and deliver IT as a service. We have taken the complexity out of management - increasing operational efficiency, improving agility in service delivery, and minimizing business risks.

Zero-touch Automation

VMware virtualization and cloud management enables a zero-touch infrastructure - optimizing operational efficiency with built-in automation to make smarter and better use of virtual and cloud infrastructure. In traditional models, management has been delivered as an afterthought, bolted onto each device silo resulting in ever escalating complexity: fragmented, heavy-touch and costly management. With VMware virtualization and cloud management, zero-touch automation is designed into each architectural layer of the IT infrastructure.

Policy-driven Service Assurance

VMware virtualization and cloud management solutions assure compliance and performance in the face of growing service level expectations and accelerated change - delivering self-service with control. Traditional management tools assume static, rigid bindings throughout the stack – application to OS to server to storage to network – resulting in brittle design, slow performance, frequent outages, and sensitivity to change. With virtualization and cloud computing, applications become mobile and must be managed separately from the underlying infrastructure.

Management and Cloud Interoperability

VMware virtualization and cloud management ensures freedom of choice through management interoperability with ecosystem partners and cloud interoperability across service providers, using an open, standards-based approach.

VMware offers solutions in these areas:

• Infrastructure and Operations Management
• Applications Management
• End-user Computing Management
• IT Business Management
