We are excited to announce that the next generation of Data Services Manager is now generally available following our announcements at our VMware Explore Barcelona conference last year.
In response to a growing need from customers to deliver and support next-gen cloud native and AI-powered applications in their private cloud, we are now including Data Services Manager in VMware Cloud Foundation to deliver a native infrastructure automation and management experience for data services.
Read about the other VMware Cloud Foundation innovations and automation for infrastructure and application services that are coming to VMware Cloud Foundation here.
With Data Services for VMware Cloud Foundation, we are now enabling IT to offer self-service, enterprise-hardened Postgres, MySQL, and Google AlloyDB Omni (tech preview) to their teams, boosting developer innovation, reducing IT costs, and ensuring data resilience.
In today’s digital landscape, data is more critical than ever for enterprises to succeed
25% of workloads running on VMware are data services and it continues to grow to support our customers’ digital transformation and the increasing AI use cases. This trend requires organizations to manage an increasing number of data service types and instances with a consistent operational model and ensuring service level objectives are met. That’s not an easy task!
Most of those data services are relational databases today with an increasing number of open-source databases (aligning to the trend shown here) that IT needs to manage with limited resources.
With data services in VMware Cloud Foundation, we empower IT organizations with enterprise hardened Postgres, MySQL and Google AlloyDB Omni (tech preview) that are deeply integrated with VMware Cloud Foundation.
