Innovating Cloud Management On-Prem and as-a-Service

VMware is innovating across its cloud management platform–providing customers with choice of how to consume its offerings– on-premises via a license model, or as a service via a subscription model:

  • The VMware vRealize Suite delivers a comprehensive, on-premises cloud management platform that can manage hybrid environments across private and public clouds. It helps customers address three common use cases – self-driving operations, programmable provisioning and application operations. The suite speeds up the delivery of IT services through automation and pre-defined policies, providing a high level of agility and flexibility for developers and lines of business while maintaining governance and control.
  • VMware Cloud Services provide a unified approach to gain end-to-end visibility into cloud usage, costs, metrics monitoring, and analytics, across public clouds and on-premises environments.
