Today was a big day for VMware and VMware Cloud Services with their global Cloud Briefing. The briefing concentrated around their two mantra’s: Any Application, Any Cloud, Any Device and Consistent Infrastructure, Consistent Operations. Both of which resonate with what I am seeing customers are looking for.

The Highlights

During the briefing there were multiple announcements were made and demo’s given, including:

VMware Cloud on AWS

  • General Availability of VMware Cloud on AWS in **EU West (London) **- Frankfurt coming soon!
  • Introducing High Availability using VMware Stretched Clusters across AWS Availability Zones (Tech Preview) #MindBlown
  • VMConAWS now supports native **vSAN Deduplication and Compression (DD&C) **for space efficiency.
  • Support for AWS Cloud Formation on VMConAWS.

VMware Cloud Management Services

  • Hybrid Cloud Extension (HCE) - Now enhanced to work OOTB with VMConAWS so workloads from an on-premises vSphere can be moved directly into the vSphere based-cloud.
  • HCE Enterprise for moving on-premises workloads to/from cloud or to other on-premises vSphere Cloud.
  • HCE Cloud for moving VMs between VMConAWS, IBM Cloud and OVH.
  • VMware Cost Insight - Enhancements to support VMConAWS to allow companies to understand the relative cost of migrating to the cloud.
  • VMware Cost Insight now integrates with VMware Network Insight to enable accurate identification of Network Ingress costs.
  • VMware Log Intelligence a new VMware Cloud Service
  • Use Machine Learning to analyse cloud based logs.
  • Wavefront enhanced with 45+ OOTB integrations to Cloud Native Apps (including Cassandra, MongoDB, etc).
  • Introducing Wavefront for vROPs so you can get a full Application view across the hybrid cloud.

Partner Program Enhancements
