VMware and Wipro Expand Partnership to Power Customers’ Digital Transformation

Companies Expand Partnership to Help Meet Customers’ Data Sovereignty and Interoperability Needs, and Align with Gaia-X Principles

PARIS, France and PALO ALTO, Calif., USA (4 May 2022) - Atos and VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today announced an extension of the companies’ <a href="https://atos.net/en/about-us/partners-and-alliances/vmware" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">strategic partnership</a> by working to deliver an integrated set of capabilities to help speed up the development of “Data Spaces”. Data Spaces are platforms that allow for greater exchange, collaboration, and monetization of data between organizations or industries, independently of the underlying infrastructure, whilst enabling data sovereignty and interoperability.

With the VMware and Atos collaboration effort on Data Space development, the companies plan to deliver an integrated set of capabilities that help enable data and industry applications to be used and shared more strategically to boost national and regional digital economies. The expanded collaboration will deliver capabilities aligned to the <a href="https://www.gaia-x.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gaia-X</a> architecture and serve as a key enabler and booster of the Gaia-X initiative, which seeks to accelerate the exchange of data through new digital platforms that comply with common rules.

Atos and VMware plan to combine VMware’s multi-cloud and app modernization capabilities with the Atos cloud, as well as cybersecurity expertise and technology integration from Atos. The capabilities are designed to provide businesses and industries with the key building blocks to rapidly design, develop, deploy, better secure, and manage Data Spaces that are compliant with jurisdictional data governance requirements. Organizations can also utilize and monetize existing data to create machine learning and artificial intelligence services, and enable new industry-specific services for:

“With a comprehensive set of data space capabilities from VMware and Atos, organisations will gain access to a viable and rapid way to more securely share, manage and monetize their data,” said Laurent Allard, Head of Sovereign Cloud EMEA, VMware. “Today’s world is multi-cloud. Aligned to the principles of Gaia-X, the suite of capabilities will be designed to deliver the interoperability, reversibility and security required for European businesses and industries to create value from data and drive their digital ambitions faster.”

“VMware and Atos are long-term partners and share a commitment to helping organisations drive value from data,” said Frédéric Malicki, CTO, Southern Europe, Atos.  “By supporting the acceleration of Data Space development and data sovereignty with the capabilities from VMware and Atos, we expect to give customers the tools to drive value not just from their own data, but also from federated data, collaboratively with partners and peers. Organizations can transform existing data into new services that, for example, could help farmers better predict the weather or human health organizations improve living conditions for the elderly with automated energy management.” 

The capabilities provided by VMware and Atos are expected to include:

These capabilities will be supported by the reversibility, interoperability, and portability VMware’s cloud partners deliver. With data hosted on a common peer-to-peer framework to ensure the compatibility of architecture between cloud providers, organisations can place their data with any of the participating cloud providers to take full advantage of the services they offer, while retaining the ability to move apps or federate data on other cloud provider platforms as required.

Atos and VMware Join Forces to Help Organizations and Industries Derive Value from Data More Easily

VMware has been recognized by Forbes in its list of <a href="https://www.forbes.com/lists/best-employers-diversity/?sh=2e7ee9c56468">America’s Best Employers for Diversity</a> in 2022 for the fourth consecutive year, ranking number 2 on the overall list and was also the top ranked technology company. VMware ranked number 11 on Forbes’ list in <a href="https://www.forbes.com/lists/best-employers-diversity/?sh=5cd594386468">2021</a>.

“We’re proud to be recognized for our sustained commitment to an inclusive culture where all VMware people can belong and thrive,” said Rich Lang, senior vice president, Human Resources, and acting global head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) at VMware. “Our people are the core of who we are as a company, and our EPIC2 culture is vital to our long-term success. We are keeping ourselves honest and accountable by continuing to actively seek out, listen to and incorporate the viewpoints of women employees and employees from underrepresented groups, and also integrating inclusive and equitable practices into all aspects of the VMware career journey.”

Forbes partnered with market research company Statista to survey 60,000 people working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees to determine the companies they identified as most dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion. More than 10,000 companies were reviewed, and the final list ranks the 500 employers that not only received the most recommendations, but also boast the most diverse boards and executive ranks and the most proactive diversity and inclusion initiatives.

VMware’s top ranking on this list was a result of survey participants rating their own organizations on criteria such as age, gender, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation equality, as well as that of general diversity. Respondents belonging to underrepresented groups were also asked to nominate organizations other than their own to compile this list.

As part of this agenda, VMware is redefining the workplace of the future through initiatives that include its DEI efforts. As part of its DEI representation goals by 2030, VMware has committed to hiring 50/50 women and gender non-binary/men by 2030; and that 50-percent of its managers identify as a woman, gender non-binary, and/or from an underrepresented community.

VMware Sovereign Cloud Initiative Grows to 14 partners

VMware Launches New App Modernization and Data Services for All VMware Cloud Providers

PALO ALTO, Calif. – April 27, 2022 – The growing importance of data sovereignty, scrutiny of data access and control, and increasing geo-political friction is leading governments and regulated industries to closely analyze their cloud strategies and evaluate whom may have access to their data. The VMware Sovereign Cloud initiative helps customers identify and engage with trusted national or regional cloud service providers to meet their unique sovereign cloud requirements. Today, VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) is announcing the expansion of the initiative with new partners, as well as new cloud-native developer-centric capabilities that bring more value to all VMware Cloud provider offerings.

The newest VMware Sovereign Cloud designated partners are <a href="https://cloud.vmware.com/providers/cloud-providers/ionos-se?servicename=Sovereign%20Cloud&dc=QmVybGluLCBHZXJtYW55" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">IONOS SE</a>, <a href="https://cloud.vmware.com/providers/cloud-providers/saudi-telecom-company-stc?servicename=Sovereign%20Cloud&dc=Uml5YWRoLCBTYXVkaSBBcmFiaWE=" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saudi Telecom Company (STC)</a>, <a href="https://cloud.vmware.com/providers/cloud-providers/sopra-steria-as?servicename=Sovereign%20Cloud&dc=T3NsbywgTm9yd2F5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sopra Steria AS</a>, and <a href="https://cloud.vmware.com/providers/cloud-providers/telecommunications-regulatory-authority?servicename=Sovereign%20Cloud&dc=RHViYWksIFVuaXRlZCBBcmFiIEVtaXJhdGVz" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TDRA</a>. This brings the total to <a href="https://cloud.vmware.com/providers/sovereign-cloud" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">14 participants in the VMware Sovereign Cloud initiative</a> in distinct sovereign regions covering Canada, Mexico, Sweden, Norway, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, New Zealand, Australia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, India, and the United States.

“We are pleased to welcome new partners to our Sovereign Cloud initiative and see existing partners demonstrate momentum in meeting the sovereign cloud requirements of customers around the world,” said Rajeev Bhardwaj, vice president of product management, cloud infrastructure business group, VMware. “New data services from VMware Tanzu will enable all our VMware Cloud provider partners, particularly, sovereign cloud-focused partners, to expand their data and application transformation portfolios and accelerate cloud adoption. This will allow customers to remain within sovereign regions and jurisdictional control while achieving cutting edge transformation at scale.”

Customers Worldwide Turn to Sovereign Clouds built on VMware

VMware Cloud providers offer sovereign cloud solutions for customers in regulated industries, such as banking and finance, healthcare, local retail and ecommerce, energy, government services, defense, intelligence, regional telecom, and public sectors.

Hummingbird, an Australian IT services company providing a range of business enhancing services across government and the private sector, partnered with AUCloud as a sovereign cloud provider. “Providing digital and managed services solutions across a broad range of industries, it is imperative that we meet the constantly evolving challenges of data protection, availability and governance,” said Andrew Thomlinson-Munn, Solutions Architect, Hummingbird Solutions. “Hummingbird Solutions choose to work with AUCloud as an IaaS provider for their strength in delivering hosting solutions on a proven platform with VMware and their ability to provide a sovereign cloud solution to conform to our customer's internal and regulatory compliance requirements. Working with AUCloud, which is part of the VMware Sovereign Cloud initiative, provides Hummingbird with the confidence that we are backed by a best-in-class infrastructure solution, with a partner that has the skills and expertise to complement our own.”

Nimble, a leading Canadian supplier of document imaging products, services, and solutions, teamed with ThinkOn to meet the company’s cloud sovereignty requirements. “The success of any digital mailroom or document digitization solution relies heavily on the accuracy, security, and accessibility of the digitized documents,” said Daryl Stott, VP Digital Transformation, Nimble Information Strategies Inc. “Not only does that extracted data need to be highly accurate, but the authority, control, and accessibility of this data must reside within Canadian Federal and Provincial boundaries to meet the data residency obligations of Nimble Information Strategies customers. Nimble partners with ThinkOn to align our data residency and security business needs with the strict data sovereignty demands and expectations of our clients.”

Geoff Smith Associates (GSA) is a leader in supplying cloud-hosted IT solutions for Information Management, Covert Systems, Criminal Justice, and Case Management. “Working extensively with the UK public sector requires GSA to operate within certain guidelines for cloud security and data privacy,” said Geoff Smith, Managing Director, Geoff Smith Associates. “GSA’s ability to deliver our SaaS offering on UKCloud’s sovereign cloud technology has helped transform information management for some of the many UK Policing customers. With GSA’s CycFreedom fully hosted cloud solution on UKCloud, we serve customers with agile, efficient, and cost-saving solutions for more secure and compliant management of their data.”

New Developer-Ready Cloud Services Powered by VMware Tanzu

With VMware, cloud providers can extend beyond basic infrastructure and platform as a service and offer managed app modernization services for cloud-native workloads. Cloud providers can offer fully managed developer-ready clouds on the customer’s premises; hosted private clouds in partner data centers; or as a managed service on leading hyperscaler clouds. VMware is now offering <a href="https://tanzu.vmware.com/application-platform" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VMware Tanzu Application Platform</a> and <a href="https://tanzu.vmware.com/data-services" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VMware Tanzu Data Services portfolio</a> for cloud provider partners to expand their developer-ready cloud services.

Tanzu Application Platform provides a rich set of developer tooling and a fast and simple path to production for developers to build and deploy software quickly and more securely on any compliant public cloud or on-premises Kubernetes clusters. Developers can start quickly with preconfigured templates, gain access to best-in-class tools in the application development pipeline, and create and maintain a more secure, sustainable, and reusable pathway for modern applications throughout their lifecycle. Importantly, customers can establish a clear separation between developers and operations for seamless app handoffs from development to production.

Tanzu Data Services is a portfolio of on-demand caching, messaging, and database software for development teams to use while building modern cloud-native applications. With Tanzu Data Services, which include Greenplum, SQL, Gemfire, and RabbitMQ, developers gain on-demand self-service access to these critical data services.

Data Protection and Security Offerings from Ecosystem Partners

VMware’s large technology ecosystem helps ensure that sovereign cloud providers have a wealth of solutions to augment their offerings. Through VMware Cloud Director, VMware Cloud providers can easily leverage ecosystem partners to deliver integrated services, creating a robust platform to meet many sovereign cloud principles.

VMware Research Reveals Agencies are Navigating Compliance, Security and Upskilling Employees Amid Cloud Adoption

Today, at the <a href="https://upgather.com/vmware/public-sector-innovation-summit/">Public Sector Innovation Summit</a>, VMware announced findings from a study on how government agencies are scaling use of multi-cloud environments for mission success. The study, titled “<a href="https://www.vmware.com/learn/1380503_REG.html?src=wb_624ed0c315228&cid=7012H000001KaLSQA0">Multi-cloud Is The New Frontier Of Government IT</a>," conducted by Forrester Consulting, found while the move to multi-cloud is a priority, agencies face challenges supporting growing cloud environments, including compliance standards, data security and upskilling employees.

A ‘Cloud‑Smart’ Approach for the Public Sector

The survey captures responses from more than 500 agency leaders and IT decision-makers at federal, state, and local governments in the United States and Canada and discovered that while agencies are accelerating cloud adoption, multi-cloud environments are far more diverse, complex, and distributed than anything organizations have managed in the past. This can create barriers or force trade-offs between moving fast and managing risk. The challenge lies in finding the right tools and platforms to meet agency demands and keep data and processes safe and compliant. The study found when selecting cloud platform providers, the top priorities for agencies were: 

Talent Paired with Technology
