Delivering Modern Infrastructure for Modern Apps with vRealize Suite 2019 and vCloud Suite 2019

vRealize Suite 2019 and vCloud Suite 2019 – Delivering Modern Infrastructure for Modern Apps

For most organizations, traditional on-premises data center infrastructures consist of compute, storage, networking, security and management which are typically silo’d, expensive to maintain, highly customized, and consist of highly proprietary and fragmented technologies. Yet the LOBs are requiring IT organizations to support a very diverse and rapidly changing portfolio of modern technologies such as cloud computing, cloud-native apps, artificial intelligence, DevOps, and big data. This is forcing IT organizations to look to public clouds providers, as well as modernizing their existing on-premises data infrastructures to a private/hybrid/public cloud infrastructure environment. One of the most difficult challenges will be, how will IT organizations cost-effectively manage both their traditional and modern infrastructures, while meeting the needs of the business which is rapidly undergoing a digital transformation.

VMware vRealize Suite 2019 can help enterprises accelerate the speed of their IT organization’s responsiveness to the rapidly changing business and competitive requirements of their LOBs, while helping to reduce their OpEx/CapEx and increasing the consistency of their security, governance and compliance.
