Newest VMware Cloud on AWS innovations help lower the cost, improve the performance, and better protect enterprise workloads in the Cloud

VMware & AWS Get Customers to the Cloud with Speed and Confidence

Over the past decade, challenger brands have shaken up the status quo in the business world by pioneering a digital-smart strategy, centered on accelerating innovation via software in the cloud. There are unique qualities that distinguish a digital-smart business: an ability to harness machine learning to turbocharge business insights; a focus on taking automation to the next level; and an obsession with driving the next leap forward in employee engagement and productivity. 

While challenger brands pioneered this digital-smart approach, established incumbents are investing heavily in every industry sector, from education and banking to healthcare, retail, and public sector. That explains the 400-percent growth in cloud-native apps over the past three years: from a total of 72 million in 2019 to an estimated 310 million cloud-native apps in the world today, according to IDC.1

The Great Re-Platforming

But while we’ve made progress on the path to digital, almost every business leader I talk to says the same thing: “We’re not moving fast enough.” Many CIOs describe this current era as ‘The Great Re-Platforming’ of the enterprise – an opportunity to rethink and reshape the core operations that propel every business. In their view, this re-platforming has slowed, and they call out three roadblocks that are holding us back. First, we’re confronting a global-scale gap in critical skills, from software-development to cloud operations. Second, there’s the sheer ‘weight’ of existing enterprise apps, which have proven difficult to modernize and migrate to the cloud. The third roadblock is the fragmented nature of running and securing apps across multiple clouds.

Against that backdrop, organizations have discovered that successfully re-platforming the enterprise requires you to build a “cloud-smart” architecture – one that allows your teams to navigate the inherent complexity of today’s multi-cloud world. At the core of a cloud-smart approach is the ability to drive a consistent, secure, and cost-efficient operating model across the various clouds you rely on.

A survey we conducted this Summer with more than 5,000 organizations across the globe revealed that only 20 percent have reached the tipping point where the strategic benefits of multi-cloud outweigh the challenges, including spiraling costs and cyber-security vulnerabilities.2 In other words, only one in five businesses identify themselves as cloud smart today. What is the right path forward for the remaining 80 percent of organizations that want to implement a cloud-smart approach?

A Typical Journey to Cloud

In my conversations with customers, they consistently describe a journey to the cloud that breaks down into three distinct phases:

Phase 1: Cloud First – This was the initial embrace of public cloud that began a dozen or so years ago, with a big focus on building customer-facing mobile apps in a single cloud. This first wave of cloud innovation drove huge advances in how businesses operate and how they engage their end customers.

Over time, we saw a broad shift from a single-cloud mindset to a multi-cloud model, with 75% of organizations now relying on 2 or more public clouds.3 This makes a lot of sense for a variety of reasons. First, CIOs want to tap into the tremendous amount of innovation being driven by the leading public-cloud players. Developers want access to best-of-breed services in different clouds to differentiate the apps they’re building. And every organization wants greater choice and flexibility, which helps them avoid lock-in with a single service provider.

Phase 2: Cloud Chaos – This describes the current state that 80 percent of organizations are living and breathing each day, a world where greater cloud choice has led to a massive spike in complexity. Most report that building new apps is slow and cumbersome, and managing their entire app portfolio across disparate clouds is difficult and expensive. No wonder: each cloud requires their teams to use proprietary tools that are siloed and incompatible with one another. Meanwhile, for the average employee, getting fast, secure access to critical apps from anywhere is imperative, yet it’s often a challenge. All this complexity has broad repercussions on the business, from managing costs to attracting and retaining top talent.

Phase 3: Cloud Smart – This is the desired destination of every multi-cloud journey: a more sophisticated, mature approach where you have the freedom to select the right cloud for the right app, based on the needs of the individual app. Customers I talk to who have successfully achieved a cloud-smart approach tend to describe three big shifts they drove as part of their move from Cloud Chaos to Cloud Smart:

core/image

Cloud Smart in Action: S&P Global

One of my favorite examples of a company accelerating innovation via a cloud-smart approach is S&P Global, a well-respected brand and a leader in business-intelligence services. Like many organizations, they were struggling with complexity, cost and the “need for speed” along their multi-cloud journey. 

They embraced multi-cloud — and partnered with our team at VMware to get the most out of their multi-cloud investments. Today, they’re focused on improving the developer experience to both build solutions quicker for their customers, and move at the speed of business.

Business Outcomes from a Cloud-Smart Approach

When we asked cloud-smart organizations to describe the benefits they’ve gained from their multi-cloud operation, they spoke of advantages that shape both their competitiveness and their top-line results. For example, 97 percent of cloud-smart organizations say their approach to multi-cloud has improved their revenue growth4, and 96 percent say it has improved their profitability.5 At the same time, 96 percent of cloud-smart organizations say they are better able to recruit and retain top talent6, and 92 percent report that it’s easier to manage their data wherever they reside.7

The Ultimate Destination

Moving from a state of cloud chaos to a position of strength as a cloud-smart organization is neither simple nor easy. There’s a lot we can learn from the small subset of businesses that have successfully navigated this transition. Whether you’re a challenger born in the cloud or an established player, the ultimate destination is a multi-cloud environment that empowers your teams to move faster and spend less – powered by a consistent operating model that extends across any cloud. This is the foundation of a digital-smart business.

With Azure VMware Solution, customers benefit from the scale, performance, and innovation of Azure and the enterprise capabilities of VMware Cloud to run VMware vSphere workloads in the cloud. Azure VMware Solution enables customers to achieve higher availability and better security with a VMware Cloud environment built on industry-leading vSphere, vSAN, and NSX capabilities running natively on dedicated Azure infrastructure. Consistent VMware Cloud infrastructure and operations and the ability to use existing skillsets, tools, and training help reduce costs and simplify operations in the cloud. Built-in advanced networking and security help safeguard against modern, laterally moving threats. Customers can also accelerate app innovation and modernization by leveraging the rich set of developer solutions available in Azure, including VMware Tanzu.

“Digital transformation holds the promise of enabling new business models, improving customer experiences, and delivering better outcomes for organizations,” said Kathleen Mitford, corporate vice president, Azure Marketing, Microsoft Corp. “This promise is often held back by business and technical realities, talent shortages, or financial constraints. Azure VMware Solution offers a unique path to help enterprise customers overcome these challenges and sets itself apart to help these organizations modernize and better secure their vSphere workloads with a combined set of unique features and compelling economic benefits only Microsoft can deliver.”

Sentara Healthcare is an integrated, not-for-profit healthcare delivery system which serves over 900,000 members. “With Azure VMware Solution, we were able to meet an aggressive data center evacuation deadline,” said Matthew Douglas, Chief Enterprise Architect at Sentara Healthcare. “We now run in a more modern and secure environment, with the ability to use NSX micro-segmentation to apply consistent security policies across our environments. Sentara is also better positioned to simplify IT operations as we continue to experience further M&A. Being able to apply Azure credits helped us lower our overall TCO.”

Moving to Azure VMware Solution has the potential to yield significant financial benefits to customers. A Total Economic Impact(1) study commissioned by Microsoft and conducted by Forrester Consulting shows a composite organization found a projected ROI between 125% and 274% and projected TCO savings ranged from $3 million to more than $7 million over three years. Specifically, customers can lower overall costs for Microsoft applications running on vSphere. Customers benefit from free extended security updates for Windows Server and SQL Server 2008 and 2012, the ability to bring and use existing on-premises Windows Server and SQL Server licenses to the cloud with Azure Hybrid Benefit, and support for Microsoft 365 and Azure with Horizon® virtual desktop environments.

Companies, including those in regulated industries, are looking to modernize core business workloads to create better experiences for their clients and comply with industry regulations. Further, the current economic climate makes refactoring applications for cloud unrealistic for many organizations, driving increased emphasis on a more agile modernization strategy. The planned IBM and VMware offerings are intended to increase choice and flexibility for companies to execute their digital transformation strategies.

“In today’s market, organizations want to modernize and transform operations quickly. But modernization and innovation cannot come at the cost of security and trust built with clients,” said Howard Boville, Head of IBM Cloud Platform. “Together, IBM and VMware are supporting our mutual clients in regulated industries by offering something no two other companies are delivering– to more easily leverage hybrid cloud services securely -- wherever and however they wish to run them.”

“With IBM and VMware, our customers get a combination of innovation and consulting experience based on decades of close collaboration and experience in meeting the business challenges of thousands of customers around the world,” said Mark Lohmeyer, Senior Vice President and General Manager, cloud infrastructure business group, VMware. “This ongoing collaboration will enable us to better streamline the user experience for our mutual enterprise customers looking to run VMware mission critical workloads that require higher levels of security, resiliency and compliance support in financial services and regulated industries.”

Ecosystem partnerships such as the one between IBM and VMware are critical to helping some of the world’s most influential companies modernize their workloads with a focus on security and efficiency, while providing choice in how to deploy and manage them. Today's news builds on the companies’ longstanding relationship, having collaborated over the past 20 years to help clients realize their technology goals.

NetApp and VMware Strengthen Global Partnership to Help Customers Modernize with Multi-Cloud - VMware News &amp; Stories - ASEAN

Singapore, 17 August 2022 – Southeast Asian (SEA) consumers are the most optimistic to embrace a digitally empowered future according to the findings by VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise software, in its annual research tracking the confidence and fears of global consumers in an increasingly tech-infused world. The VMware Digital Frontiers 4.0 survey findings reflect that the SEA respondents are the most excited in the possibilities of digitalization and benefits of new applications such as the Metaverse. However, the survey also indicates growing concerns over data privacy and security, widening gaps between the digitally-savvy versus more vulnerable parts of the society, and the expectations of the roles of organizations in working closely with consumers to realize tech-enabled benefits for the society.

“Digital transformation is more than a business criterion today; it is a business philosophy. Organizations must enable digital innovation with enterprise control by ensuring autonomy for developers, productivity for employees, and control for the business in order to drive growth. As we enter the next decade of witnessing more disruptive innovations across industries and nations, businesses should exercise more caution in offering secure digital offerings to their end-users that are also seamless in operation.” said Paul Simos, Vice President and Managing Director, Southeast Asia and Korea, VMware.

Confidence and Progress: Digitalization is Core to Economic Growth After COVID-19

More than three in four (76.2%) respondents in SEA believe technology has been an enabler rather than an impediment to people during the COVID-19 pandemic – 4% higher than the global average. SEA leads as a region in Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) with 77% of the consumers here acknowledging the progress from digitalization in the form of new jobs and livelihoods as compared to last year, whilst Korea and Japan are at 66.5% and 48% respectively.

South Korea is the most excited and ready (64%), followed by the rest of the SEA region (62%), to embrace increased digital experiences in life. This puts the consumers in the APJ region ahead in leaps and bounds of their global counterparts in the US (35%), UK (37%), Germany (46%), France (37%), Italy (50%) and Spain (47%).

Excitement for Tech in Daily Lives, Anticipation of Metaverse’s Impact

SEA consumers demonstrate the most excitement to embrace technology transformation with 51% indicating their readiness for robot-enabled healthcare and emergency, ahead of their global counterparts (42%). One in four (25%) in SEA has also shown eagerness to allow a qualified doctor to conduct an invasive surgery via remote robotics rather than a less qualified one doing it in person, 8% more than the consumers in Japan.

40% of the consumers in SEA strongly believe that the metaverse will be favorable for society, exceeding by around 10% from the global average (27%). Surprisingly, SEA respondents (36%) have also shown eagerness in spending an extra hour everyday exploring the metaverse than the physical world, with Korea (24%) showing a slightly less interest as the rest of the world (23%) and Japan (9%) showing the least.

Higher Expectations for Businesses and their Digitalization

While SEA consumers are the most excited and confident for even more technology in their daily lives, they also have higher expectations for businesses and their digitalization. Close to half (49%) of consumers in SEA and 46% in Korea will chose a different service provider if an existing one requires them to visit a physical branch for routine paperwork like forms, as compared to the global average of 38%.

Six in 10 consumers (60%) in the SEA region expects providers to use Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to help protect personal data, while expectations by Korean consumers (45%) are closer to the global average of 48%.

More Demand Transparency Around Data Usage

Similar to last year, personal data privacy and security remain top concerns for consumers in the region. 72% of the respondents from Singapore feel they have no knowledge of how their data is being used and who has access to them. Malaysians (32%) are most fearful of loss of privacy or being hacked by organizations with access to personal data. Respondents from Thailand are highly apprehensive (69%) about being tracked by organizations on their devices, followed by Singapore (62%) and the Philippines (60%).

46% of the respondents in SEA feel governments and organizations should be more transparent about the use of data in their pursuit of bringing a positive change in society, although the regional average is still below the global figures (51%) but slightly above that of Japan (37%).

The accelerating adoption of technology is also creating worries in the widening digital gap. 67% of the respondents in SEA are worried their older relatives are not able to keep up with the new digital world, with Singapore (75%) and Thailand (70%) the most and Japan (45%) the least concerned.

The majority also agree that connectivity in rural areas must improve to be considered truly digital, especially by Indonesia (81%) followed by the Philippines (78%) and Thailand (74%). In unlocking the full potential of technology, governments and organizations are expected to strategize their efforts equally towards the disadvantaged communities to usher in a digital-first world in its true sense.

A robust and inclusive tech economy for a digitally empowered future

SEA’s accelerated digital economy post-pandemic reflects the need of rapid business transformation to meet the evolving needs of the customers. In building the region’s rapidly digitalizing business environment, a robust approach that enables organizations to deliver superior digital experiences across any cloud, any application and any device in a seamless and secure manner is of paramount importance.

With an eye on securing long term success and accelerating growth in the new world of work, businesses must re-think how their customers can harness technology to better innovate and collaborate in this digital-first environment. VMware outlines key priorities that will further strengthen the region’s transformation into a resilient, inclusive and innovation-led economy:
