AsiaPac will be the first in the region to leverage VMware vRealize Operations Cloud and VMware Cloud Director service to support companies with their multi-cloud needs
Singapore – 1 November 2021 – VMware Inc. is expanding its partnership with AsiaPac, the region’s premier ICT solutions provider. AsiaPac will be the first partner in the Southeast Asia and Korea region to adopt VMware vRealize Operations Cloud and VMware Cloud Director to support highly regulated industries such as the financial services, government and healthcare sectors in their multi-cloud needs. The partnership will also build upon VMware’s ‘cloud-smart’ approach and commitment to helping businesses navigate the multi-cloud era, recently unveiled during VMworld 2021.
Today, the average organization runs approximately 500 workloads to drive their business[1], and those apps are distributed across clouds. Thus, it is increasingly crucial for companies to have a unified management platform to optimize, plan and scale hybrid cloud deployments from applications to infrastructure.
As a proven solution in the Cloud System and Service Management software space, vRealize Operations Cloud will help AsiaPac unify their multi-cloud operating practice by consolidating all metrics from their VMware, AWS and Azure cloud environments into a single, unified platform. Furthermore, it will allow AsiaPac to provide a consistent monitoring and reporting service for their customers, no matter how distributed their apps are across multiple clouds. The launch of vRealize Operations Cloud and VMware vRealize Log Insight Cloud in Singapore in July 2021 has opened doors for partners like AsiaPac to support highly regulated industries in their multi-cloud journey.
“As more companies look to accelerate their digital transformation during this period of recovery, cloud adoption in Asia Pacific will only continue to increase,” said David Bate, VMware’s Vice President, Cloud, Asia Pacific and Japan. “Helping companies implement a cloud-smart strategy is a key focus for us at VMware. We would like to congratulate AsiaPac for their forward thinking and their partnership. We are confident that this will help offer businesses in Singapore with the flexibility and control needed to operate and innovate in a multi-cloud world.”
To deliver these new services to customers, AsiaPac will also be tapping VMware Cloud Director service, a unique and differentiated SaaS solution available to all VMware Cloud providers. VMware Cloud Director service enables AsiaPac to offer a pay-as-you-grow model, thus reducing the overhead costs to pursue small- and medium-sized businesses. The service enables AsiaPac to provide flexibility in pricing and environment size by dividing their VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC) environments into multi-tenanted resource pools, with fine-grained control of resource allocation and support for differing consumption models. AsiaPac’s customers will also be able to enjoy easy, self-service consumption through a single access point for all of their virtual data centers via an intuitive user interface or API.
[1] K2 Cybersecurity, “Average Enterprise Runs 464 Custom Applications,” March 2021.
&#8220;As a subsidiary of M1, Singapore’s first digital network operator, AsiaPac prides ourselves on staying at the forefront of delivering innovative next-generation infrastructure and multi-cloud services that are adaptable to today’s digital-first economy,” Andrew Cheng, Managing Director of AsiaPac explained. “Organizations are increasingly relying on cloud technologies to compete. We are confident that VMware’s world-class solutions will help us take full advantage of multiple clouds to improve resiliency and delivery of better services for our customers.”
“With many businesses in the region supercharging their digital transformation journeys to move faster to a digital future, we believe that this partnership will bolster AsiaPac’s efforts in helping their customers respond and adapt to the ever-evolving business landscape,” added Fan Qu, Director, Partner Business, Southeast Asia and Korea at VMware. “AsiaPac is a valued partner at VMware, who was recently awarded the 2021 Partner Value Award for its exceptional growth and track record in helping customers drive technology modernization. We look forward to the greater synergies and value that this partnership expansion will bring in the new era of multi-cloud.”

Harnesses VMware Cloud on AWS and VMware’s comprehensive cloud portfolio to modernize its IT infrastructure, improving agility, time-to-market and flexibility to empower the new digital banking paradigm in Philippines
 
PHILIPPINES – August 24, 2021 – VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise software, today announced Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank), a leading Universal bank in the Philippines and a digital trailblazer in Asia Pacific, has deployed VMware Cloud on AWS as part of its cloud-only IT transformation vision to become a leading digitally-enabled bank in the country. As cloud technologies continue to disrupt traditional banks and power the digital future of banking as an innovation catalyst, a more trusted digital foundation will support the Philippines’ financial ecosystem in accelerating innovations. The VMware Cloud on AWS deployment will provide UnionBank with the flexibility and agility for exponential growth and faster response time to consumer needs, enabling the Bank to drive greater financial inclusion in the Philippines.
According to VMware’s recent Digital Frontiers 3.0 study exploring consumers’ behaviors, preferences and attitudes towards digital services and experiences in 2020(1), 77% of Filipino consumers surveyed have defined themselves as “digitally curious” or “digital explorers”. As such, forward-looking organizations in the Philippines need to transform their business models by integrating next-generation technologies such as Cloud, app modernization and more to deliver customer-led innovations and experiences that are seamless, personalized and secure. As a leading bank for innovation in the Philippines, this is even more urgent for UnionBank as it aims to improve access to financial services for its unbanked and underbanked consumers across the nation amidst a pandemic.
“Despite the reduced physical interactions last year, we managed to attract 24 million new accounts with a large portion coming from digital account opening. This signals the pivotal shift that Philippines is making towards digital banking, and as the leading bank in the country, we are on a constant pursuit of innovative banking services to deliver digital experiences that will best serve our customers’ needs,” said Senior Executive Vice President Henry R. Aguda, Chief Technology &#038; Operations Officer and Chief Transformation Officer at Union Bank of the Philippines. “As such, we are pleased to work with VMware to supercharge our innovations and build a stronger, resilient ecosystem and empower Filipino businesses with the right tools and platforms to accelerate business growth as we continue to shape the digital future of banking in Philippines.”
Leveraging VMware Cloud on AWS can provide UnionBank with the power of flexibility in its multi-cloud strategy, while enabling the Bank to improve agility, scalability, time-to-market and gain faster recovery from deployment failures. In addition, the bank reports that it expects to generate savings of more than 30% over five years and achieve return on investment in less than 18 months(2). Additionally, the VMware Cloud Universal subscription will allow UnionBank to gain greater flexibility, simplicity and portability from a single cloud operation. These improvements will pave the way for the Bank to respond much faster to consumer needs by expanding accessibility for consumers in underserved areas where ATMs and bank branches are scarce or unavailable, and in turn, accelerate its transformation journey to become a leading digitally enabled bank for its Filipino customers.
For many successful digital transformations, organizations need not only the right tools and platforms, but also the right culture that embraces innovations. In addition to designing a platform that is optimized to UnionBank’s unique business needs, VMware consultants have worked closely with the teams, providing the expertise to help them unleash the full potential of their multi-cloud strategy while protecting their IT investments.
“UnionBank has always been committed to deliver superior digital experiences to its customers. With Filipino consumers becoming increasingly digitally savvy, it is crucial for our local banks to harness next-generation technologies such as Cloud and modern apps to boost consumer experience, trust and build a financially inclusive Philippines,” said Walter So, Country Manager, VMware Philippines. “As UnionBank continues to focus on pushing the envelope on digital transformation, VMware is excited to be part of their transformation journey. Through VMware Cloud on AWS, we are committed to building a strong digital foundation for UnionBank to accelerate modern applications and empower the bank with an end-to-end holistic approach from designing applications and integrating our solutions with their operations to respond, adapt and accelerate growth, agility and business innovations in today’s new digital paradigm.”

In the world that we live in today, physical visits for government services seem like a distant memory with many of us accessing government services online through websites or mobile applications to get real-time support when needed. This is a remarkable development driven by the growing demands from increasingly digital-first citizens.

In Southeast Asia, a youthful population and a fast-growing middle class has given rise to a new generation of citizens who expect and crave superior digital experiences. However, government organizations in the region have not transformed quickly enough to meet the expectations of Southeast Asia’s digital-first citizens. To bridge this gap, we must adopt a holistic and comprehensive public-private partnership (PPP) model that will modernize Southeast Asia’s digital infrastructure to accelerate growth for the region as the global economy starts its post-pandemic recovery in earnest.

In VMware’s recent Digital Frontiers 3.0 study, we found that 78% of Southeast Asians consider themselves to be digitally curious or digital explorers who are ready for digital experiences. But at the same time, 68% of them as also worried their older relatives won’t be able to keep up in this new digital world and have access to services they require.

As the stewards of economies, the important task of building a digitally inclusive society has fallen on the shoulders of the governments. With 41% of respondents in the region saying that they trust the government in raising the personal levels of their digital literacy, Southeast Asia’s governments have responded accordingly with digital literacy campaigns such as Singapore’s <a href="https://www.imda.gov.sg/digitalforlife" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Digital for Life</a> movement Thailand’s Digital Literacy for Education Equality which aim at enhancing digital access to all citizens.

However, to truly move the needle on bridging digital gaps and fostering trust amongst citizens, government organizations will need to work hand in hand with leading private organizations to achieve these ambitious targets. As responsible members of the community, private sector organizations need to play a part in building a digitally inclusive society in Southeast Asia. For instance, VMware introduced its Getting Future Ready program to help Singaporeans deepen their expertise and specialization in next-generation technologies, and in turn, building a future-ready workforce in Singapore.

Enablers of a future-forward digital society

Trust and citizen-led innovations will become the bedrock of digitally enabled societies. In Southeast Asia, we have the advantage, with 42% of citizens indicating that they are happy to engage with the Government through digital means. However, more must be done to deliver better digital experiences that will move the needle for deeper and more impactful digital citizen interactions.

One way forward is the integration of technologies of the future where consumers have expressed trust in 5G (78%), connected devices (77%) and facial recognition (75%). Government agencies have also started on this venture with new digital offerings and services such as Singapore’s SingPass application, the Philippines’ biometric national ID and more.

While Southeast Asian citizens are digitally-savvy, at least one in two (57%) still feel paranoid that organizations are tracking and recording what they do on their devices. This issue of privacy is a very valid one and government organizations in the region must work hard to assure citizens how their data is being used and stored. The VMware Digital Frontiers 3.0 study also revealed that less than half (41%) of Southeast Asian citizens say that the government has given assurance that their personal information is secure. It is thus critical for government organizations in the region to provide citizens with the assurance that their personal information is safe and secure.

A close partnership with the private organizations will help spearhead conversations around these critical societal issues. While the public agencies can ensure that the necessary digital regulations are in place to safeguard citizens’ interests and encourage businesses to participate in these industry conversations, private organizations can also tap on the robust digital infrastructure and policies to harness data, accelerate innovations and agility for the regional economy.

Sustaining a resilient and digitally inclusive Southeast Asia

A digital-first Southeast Asia will ensure the development of a resilient and inclusive, innovation-led economy that lay the foundations for the long-term prosperity of the region. And this is only possible when governments adopt a holistic and comprehensive approach to deliver superior digital experiences across any cloud, any application and any device, in a seamless and secure manner to their citizens.

While organizations were focused on responding and adapting to the pandemic to ensure business continuity in 2020, 2021 marks a turning point with innovation becoming a priority for future-ready organizations looking to accelerate their growth. Now is the time for public and private sectors to join hands in harnessing technology to build a digitally inclusive and enabled society, and help Southeast Asia move collectively towards a digital-first future.

First to offer multi-tenancy on VMware for Public Cloud, Macrologic is set to boost post-pandemic recovery by enabling a flexible business environment for SMBs to further business innovation and resilience

PHILIPPINES – April 15, 2021 – VMware, Inc., a leading innovator in enterprise software, today announced its partnership with Macrologic, a cloud provider in the Philippines, to offer a cloud-first data center facility for small and medium businesses (SMBs) in the country. Macrologic is the first VMware Cloud Provider in the Philippines to offer multi-tenancy on the VMware for Public Cloud offering and VMware Cloud Provider Program (VCPP) on Cloud. As such, it will empower Filipino organizations to transform legacy on-premises data centers into modern, multi-cloud environments for quicker app delivery and accelerated go-to-market.

Powered by VMware, Macrologic will enable the country’s SMB ecosystem across key industry verticals with greater resilience, scalability and security, accelerating their growth in a digital-first business environment.

SMBs serve as the driving force of the Philippines’ economic growth, accounting for 99.5% of all businesses<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a>. However, uncertainties brought forth by the Covid-19 pandemic, mean Filipino SMBs have to transform their business models to meet dynamic customer demands. Forward-thinking Filipino enterprises are now adopting a digital-first approach as they transition to a cloud-first environment for greater agility and scalability, while maintaining robust security measures to better safeguard business and customer information. Leveraging cloud technologies, SMBs are better able to save cost, improve business continuity and reduce business limitations – critical factors in fueling continued growth in an uncertain macroeconomic environment.

“The great reset in the Philippines’ business environment is elevating the need for SMBs to harness cloud to respond, adapt, and accelerate to a digital-first environment,” said Walter So, country manager, VMware Philippines. “We’re always excited to work with forward-thinking organizations such as Macrologic as we look toward building an agile economy in today’s digital-first landscape. To enable SMBs in their transformation journeys, Macrologic has boosted their cloud capabilities and service delivery to provide the speed, agility, and scalability that they require. Through this partnership, I am confident that we are now a step closer to helping the SMB ecosystem and the Philippines stay resilient and move faster toward economic recovery.”

Strong customer traction across key industry verticals such as education, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, as well as architecture reflect the growing importance Filipino enterprises attach to cloud technologies, as they future proof their businesses for growth and recovery. These include SYSU International, Getz Bros. Philippines and International Pharmaceutical Inc.

As the first VMware partner in the Philippines to offer multi-tenancy on VMware for Public Cloud offering and VMware Cloud Provider Program (VCPP) on Cloud, Macrologic provides SMBs with the services needed to run VMware workloads on SAP s4 HANA. This helps empower their business transformation from harnessing huge volumes of real-time data to perform real-time analytics, transaction execution and data processing. Addressing costs as a barrier to the move to cloud, the SAP model as Software-as-a-service (SaaS) provides SMBs with the option to customize their capacity in the cloud and tap on the dynamic scalability of the cloud to meet their organizational needs.  

In addition, Macrologic has achieved the Master Services Competency Data Center Virtualization.

“With the Philippines on the trajectory to becoming one of the biggest digital economies in the region, businesses will need the speed, agility, and economics to handle the growing volume and velocity of data, and build their resilience in the new digital era. Already, we are seeing positive customer adoption across key industry verticals in the Philippines. With VMware’s world-class solutions and our certified engineers, we can better support SMBs in strengthening their digital foundation and accelerating their cloud journeys,” said Arman Menta, president, Macrologic.

SINGAPORE, November 16, 2020 – VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today announced it has collaborated with Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. to further extend its leadership in 5G. Through this alliance, the companies seek to help Communication Service Providers (CSPs) meet the requirements of 5G networks and accelerate the roll-out of 5G by optimizing Samsung’s portfolio of telco offerings from Core to Edge to RAN for both containerized network functions (CNFs) and virtualized network functions (VNFs) with VMware Telco Cloud Platform.

According to new global research by VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), clear alignment between the business, IT and app development teams delivers innovation and helps high growth companies meet their business objectives. As 5G continues to gain traction, CSPs will require a cloud native network that will improve the flexibility and efficiency of deploying services into new verticals faster. At the same time, CSPs can only achieve this with a cloud-first automated network designed to simplify management and operations while lowering operational costs. The Samsung and VMware collaboration aims to accelerate the innovation cycle through better network design end-to-end, and support the agility required for 5G networks. With VMware Telco Cloud Platform, CSPs can deploy a cloud native, software-defined 5G network that will accelerate the delivery of services and applications across distributed telco clouds with operational consistency, integrated lifecycle management and multi-layer automation while maintaining carrier-grade performance, scalability and reliability.

As part of this collaboration, the companies have been working together at Samsung’s lab to optimize and accelerate the readiness of Samsung’s various VNFs and CNFs, such as vRAN, 5G Core, MEC, Management, and Analytics, with the VMware Telco Cloud Platform. Samsung’s VNFs and CNFs have been and continue to be integrated with VMware’s Ready for Telco Cloud program. The VMware Ready for Telco Cloud program will support Samsung to accelerate the onboarding and deployment of their 5G-ready services on the VMware Telco Cloud Platform, thereby enabling CSPs to accelerate their time to deploy and time to revenue.

“With innovative and open 5G networks beginning to transform the landscape, Samsung sees the value in delivering carrier-grade solutions with VMware that help CSPs easily embrace cloud native technology and efficiently deliver our network functions and services across their 5G networks with automation,” said Wonil Roh, Senior Vice President and Head of Product Strategy, Networks Business at Samsung Electronics.

“The infrastructure supporting 5G will depend on virtualized and containerized network functions delivered from software-defined telco and edge cloud platforms,” said Shekar Ayyar, executive vice president and general manager, Telco and Edge Cloud Business Unit, VMware. “We are thrilled to be working with Samsung to deliver carrier-grade solutions that leverage the VMware Telco Cloud portfolio to help CSPs seize this 5G moment and transform themselves into leading technology innovators.”

“5G investments will continue to accelerate globally, and over time, CSPs will expand their focus on delivering Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) to include Ultra-Reliable Low-latency Communications (URLLC) and Massive Machine-type Communications (mMTC), leveraging new core, edge and RAN infrastructure,” said Patrick Filkins, IDC senior research analyst. “To efficiently and simultaneously support these new services, CSPs are best-served adopting cloud-native architectures that can provide the service agility, accelerated innovation and end-to-end optimization to meet today and tomorrow’s customer requirements. VMware and Samsung have demonstrated their leadership in 5G, and we see this partnership beneficial for CSPs as they modernize their network infrastructure.”

UOB and VMware’s more secure virtual desktop solution builds on the Bank’s standardised regional IT infrastructure which enabled the solution to be deployed in just 21 days

SINGAPORE – November 4, 2020 – As the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the majority of the workforce shifting to home-based work, United Overseas Bank (UOB), a leading bank in Asia, collaborated with VMware to enable the Bank to continue its innovation drive without disruption.

UOB was one of the fastest organisations in ASEAN to deploy a secure virtual desktop – UOB DevTop – for its team of 3,000 information technology (IT) developers, having done so in just 21 days instead of the up to three months it would typically take. Designed to meet the Bank’s robust security standards and to minimise risks, UOB DevTop provides IT developers with a secure sandbox to test and to implement upgrades to UOB’s digital services and solutions. This enabled its IT developers to meet the Bank’s software development schedules without disruption or delay as they move to work from home within weeks.

UOB developed UOB DevTop by integrating VMware’s virtual desktop solution VMware Horizon with UOB’s highly secure IT and hybrid cloud infrastructures. This infrastructure was vital to the Bank being able to accelerate the deployment of UOB DevTop as the Bank did not need to install hardware servers on its premises even as it expanded its computing capacity to meet the surge in load with 3,000 IT developers working remotely.

Through safer and remote access to the Bank’s development environment, UOB’s team of IT developers achieved significant milestones for several software development projects this year. Within the last three months alone, UOB has launched three industry-leading innovative solutions. In August, UOB launched it ASEAN digital bank, TMRW, in Indonesia. In September, the Bank launched its all-in-one mobile banking app UOB Mighty in Malaysia, featuring a new user interface and features which tap artificial intelligence to help customers spend and save more wisely. In the same month, UOB also launched UOB Infinity, a new mobile app for its clients across region that provides these businesses with intuitive features such as a customisable desktop, cash management capabilities and trade services to meet their banking needs.

Ms Susan Hwee, Head of Group Technology and Operations, UOB, said, “As the majority of our colleagues across the UOB Group shifted to home-based working during the pandemic, we prioritised equipping them with the right tools and resources to enable a quick and seamless transition as we continued to serve our customers without disruption. Tapping our technology and cloud infrastructure, coupled with VMware’s solutions, we developed and deployed a more secure virtual desktop solution at an unprecedented pace and scale. This enabled our team of 3,000 IT developers to continue to support the Bank’s business activities and innovation drive without compromising on security.”

Mr Sanjay K. Deshmukh, Managing Director and Vice President, Southeast Asia and Korea, VMware, said, “Digital technologies have shone through during this period of uncertainty as an effective enabler for organisations to conduct business, engage employees and connect with customers. We are excited to continue our partnership with UOB, supporting their operational needs while enabling them to comply with the bank’s stringent security and data privacy requirements.

With VMware’s industry-leading digital workspace and hybrid cloud solutions, we are confident UOB will continue to forge ahead as a leading bank in the region, serving a diverse customer base spread across different industries effectively and more securely,” Mr Deshmukh said.

Product innovations delivered through a stronger partner ecosystem to support Filipino enterprises as they pivot towards a new business reality

MANILA, PHILIPPINES, August 27, 2020 – VMware, a leading innovator in enterprise software, has announced enhancements to its Workspace ONE and VMware Cloud portfolios to enable greater agility, innovation and business resiliency for organizations in the Philippines as they adapt to a mobile and digital-first economy. These innovations will be delivered through VMware’s partner ecosystem across the Philippines, which has been mobilized to help customers connect, accelerate, scale and protect their organizational assets as they work through business and societal disruption.

“As our customers continue to adapt their business and operational models to the evolving situation, the very concept of work has also changed accordingly. In this new normal, customers need employees who are able to work seamlessly in a secure environment, anywhere, anytime,” said Walter So, Country Manager, VMware Philippines. “Our partners continue to act as trusted advisors, helping customers adapt and thrive in this environment. In the past few months, they have helped to set up remote working capabilities, architect cloud and app infrastructure, and deploy intrinsic security solutions for many in a matter of weeks, and sometimes sooner. We are extremely grateful for their tireless efforts.”

By strengthening collaboration with its partners, VMware has amplified its ability to help enterprises across the country implement their business continuity plans quickly, with minimal operational disruptions. The approach involves:

Product Innovations to meet evolving business continuity needs

VMware’s push towards strengthening the enterprise mobility ecosystem in the Philippines follows the company’s recent enhancements to its technology portfolio to enable businesses to Connect, Accelerate, Scale and Protect businesses as they cope with the new normal:

“Our partnership with VMware has prepared us to respond to the infrastructure, security and automation needs of our customers during this Pandemic. VMware has not only provided us with products and solutions, but more importantly they have invested in enabling our workforce to enable us to deliver and execute appropriate solutions in a seamless and frictionless fashion. As we journey into the new normal, we are confident that we have the right partnership and technology to deliver remote-first strategy and Business Continuity solutions.” – Allyxon Cua, President of AMTI

"As the Philippine government tries to stop the spread of Covid-19, business organizations are helping this cause by quickly transitioning their workplaces and empowering their employees with technological tools and solutions to enable them to work effectively from home. Prior to the pandemic, our company had been preparing and enhancing our services in order to provide our customers with a robust and flexible digital workspace, utilizing VMWare technologies in a hybrid and multi cloud environment. We are committed to helping our customers adapt to this new paradigm shift effectively and efficiently, together with VMware and its entire ecosystem." – Mr, George Barcelon, Owner and President of Integrated Computer Systems, Inc., President Emeritus of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI).

“MDi continues to be at the forefront of promoting the rapid digitalization of organizations in the Philippines. The sudden imposition of the quarantine five months ago has left most organizations very little time to prepare. We have been working hard towards enabling each organization in achieving a running, stable, and secure digital workplace. With VMware, we are able to offer solutions that enable enterprises with a simplified and easy way to manage their workforce and keeping them productive and efficient while maintaining the necessary level of security and access controls." – Dr. William Emmanuel Yu, Chief Technology Officer of MDi.

“VMware technology has long been the gold standard for enterprises around the world and we are excited to be able to offer this to SMEs and start-ups in the Philippines. With the launch of this Demo Lab, small businesses will now have access to incredible enterprise-grade innovations that will go a long way towards strengthening the Philippines’ innovation ecosystem. Together with VMware, we would like to call upon all entrepreneurs, innovators and business partners to collaborate with us on this journey as well,” – Jimmy Go, president and CEO VST ECS Phils Inc
