PALO ALTO, Calif. – June 28, 2022 – Over the past decade, the successful adoption of VMware vSphere and VMware vSAN was driven in no small measure by a robust and thriving global partner ecosystem. These foundational technologies have been built into the fabric of our partners’ technology solutions to transform how IT operates and delivers business value to enterprises large and small. In the new era of multi-cloud, today’s launch of vSphere+ and vSAN+ will deliver the benefits of the cloud to on-premises workloads.

You can read the announcement here -- <a href="https://news.vmware.com/releases/vmware-unveils-vsphere-plus-and-vsan-plus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://news.vmware.com/releases/vmware-unveils-vsphere-plus-and-vsan-plus</a>.

Read what VMware partners are saying about how vSphere+ and vSAN+ are expected to deliver high-value cloud services for IT admins and developers to easily build, run, manage, and better secure today’s mission critical and tomorrow’s next-generation applications.

“3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors are the ideal choice for virtualized environments powered by VMware vSphere, providing the high core density needed to deliver the impressive performance, modern security features, optimal TCO and sustainability our joint customer's demand,” said Kumaran Siva, Corporate Vice President, Software & Systems Business Development at AMD. “The latest VMWare vSphere+ offering leverages the exceptional per-core performance of AMD EPYC processors, enabling the consolidation of customer infrastructure and workloads.”

“As organizations’ on-premises and cloud infrastructure needs evolve, they can accelerate innovation by focusing on improving system efficiency and maintenance, among other areas,” said Rajesh Pohani, Vice President of PowerEdge and Core Compute at Dell Technologies. “Solutions such as VMware vSphere+ and vSAN+ can help streamline on-premises workloads and centralized governance, simplifying processes for IT administrators and developers.”

“VMware vSphere+ changes the game for IT admins. It gives them a cloud-delivered single pane of glass to manage across their entire distributed vSphere estate — not to mention the benefits of a cloud financial and operating model across any environment,” said Juan Orlandini, Chief Architect and Distinguished Engineer at <a href="http://solutions.insight.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Insight</a>. "Additionally, developer services that speed time to value are incredibly important to our clients and something that’s built into vSphere+. With a common set of APIs that developers can learn once and deploy—regardless of where an app or service will be located—businesses are able to innovate faster.”

“Since the first days of virtualization technology, Intel and VMware have been collaborating to disrupt the IT industry, opening new possibilities for increased efficiency and value to our mutual customers,” said Das Kamhout, Vice President & CTO, Intel Cloud and Enterprise Software. “Together we have introduced innovative capabilities for IT operators and developers that transformed on-premises infrastructure.  The next leap forward is now here with the vSphere+ and vSAN+ platform that simplifies the complexity of cloud services and provides flexibility to run your workloads and data where you want. Choice, performance, reliability, and security with the well-established, trusted combination of Intel and VMware.”

“Making AI accessible to all industries requires the ability to run NVIDIA AI software and infrastructure for developers in a way that’s easy for IT to manage,” said Justin Boitano, vice president of Enterprise and Edge Computing at NVIDIA. “VMware vSphere+ introduces enhanced multi-cloud support for flexible, modern computing to advance the work of the customers that NVIDIA serves with VMware and our partner ecosystem.”

“For most enterprises today, vSphere is the de facto on-premises workload platform of choice to support their enterprise applications,” said Brian Connors, VP & GM,  Software and Business Development, Lenovo. “Our customers are transitioning the deployment of software licenses from a perpetual license model to a subscription and SaaS model, so we’re excited to see VMware provide the flexibility in licensing and deployment options of vSphere+ and vSAN+. Combining these new capabilities with Lenovo ThinkAgile VX and TruScale as-a-Service capabilities is a great opportunity for our mutual customers to modernize their environments, accelerate developer innovation, and improve overall IT efficiency and security.”

VMware Partner Ecosystem Supports Launch of VMware vSphere+ and vSAN+ 

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today unveiled VMware vSphere+ and VMware vSAN+ to help organizations bring the benefits of the cloud to their existing on-premises infrastructure with no disruption to their workloads or hosts.<a href="https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2021/10/how-innovations-in-vsphere-are-redefining-infrastructure-to-run-future-apps.html"> Introduced at VMworld 2021 </a>as a technology preview known as Project Arctic, these new offerings will help customers enhance on-premises infrastructure by providing centralized cloud-based infrastructure management, integrated Kubernetes, access to new hybrid cloud services, and a flexible subscription model.

“VMware vSphere+ and VMware vSAN+ represent the next major evolution of those foundational solutions that customers know and trust,” said Krish Prasad, senior vice president and general manager for VMware Cloud Platform Business, Cloud Infrastructure Business Group, VMware. “Wherever customers are on their digital transformation journey and in executing their cloud strategy, vSphere+ and vSAN+ will help accelerate their transformation by bringing the benefits of cloud to their existing on-premises infrastructure and workloads, along with simplified consumption via a flexible subscription model.”

VMware vSphere+ and VMware vSAN+ are an integral part of the VMware Cloud strategy to deliver consistent infrastructure with value-added capabilities across distributed environments. vSphere+ and vSAN+ will enable customers to activate add-on hybrid cloud services that deliver on key use cases for business-critical applications running on-premises, including disaster recovery and ransomware protection. Customers of all sizes will be able to consume new capabilities, security and product updates at a much faster pace and vastly simplify their operations—without making changes to their existing applications or hardware.

“The transformation of on-premises infrastructure with cloud services is an emerging modernization trend that IDC is seeing draw significant interest from enterprises,” said Gary Chen, IDC Research Director, Software Defined Compute. “By enabling the ubiquitous datacenter hypervisor with cloud services, users will be able to onboard innovative capabilities that can be delivered immediately and fully managed from the cloud to address a broad range of pain points such as management efficiency, scale out Kubernetes operations, and DR. The future possibilities of this delivery model, such as with vSphere+ and vSAN+, are endless and can be a key tool for enterprises to modernize existing infrastructure quickly with minimal burden.”

“VMware vSphere+ blurs the line between on-premises and cloud,” said Vishal Gupta, CIO for Lexmark. “The combination of cloud operating model with familiar toolsets will be a big win for us.”

Simplify Operations with Centralized Infrastructure Management

Under pressure to improve efficiency and productivity, infrastructure operations teams are seeking more efficient ways to maintain and protect infrastructure to support increasingly larger and more complex environments. In many instances, customers’ vSphere environments are distributed across siloed locations, edge sites, and clouds leading to operational complexity and inefficient maintenance experience.

vSphere+ and vSAN+ provide a unified infrastructure management experience for these distributed environments via the VMware Cloud Console. The console features global inventory, configuration, alerts, administration and security status for on-premises deployments. Admins will be able to perform certain operational tasks directly from the VMware Cloud Console such as managing configurations and policies across their deployments. Additionally, customers will benefit from a vastly simplified lifecycle management experience through cloud-enabled automation of updates of on-premises infrastructure components. Customers will also gain from cloud-based remediation and configuration drift capabilities, including security checks to maintain compliance with corporate and regulatory requirements.

Accelerate Developer Velocity with Integrated Kubernetes

Developer teams are focused on modernizing their applications and infrastructure to deliver better software to production, faster. Providing a single workload platform for running VMs and containers orchestrated by Kubernetes, vSphere+ will help transform on-premises infrastructure into an enterprise-ready Kubernetes platform. This includes providing a multi-cloud IaaS consumption experience for developers by extending the capabilities of VMware Tanzu Standard Runtime to enable developers to run and manage Kubernetes at scale with consistency and efficiency across on-premises, public clouds, and edge. The inclusion of <a href="https://tanzu.vmware.com/mission-control">VMware Tanzu Mission Control Essentials</a> will provide customers with global visibility across their entire Kubernetes footprint and automate operational tasks.

Extend On-Premises with Seamless Hybrid Cloud Services

Modern organizations require integrated and expanded cloud services to consistently bolster their security posture, quickly recover from disasters and site outages, and better protect against ransomware. With vSphere+ and vSAN+, customers will continue to use their existing investments, including toolsets and domain expertise, while benefiting from the expanded capabilities of VMware Cloud. Customers will benefit from protection workflows available as add-on cloud services directly integrated into their operating environment including <a href="https://www.vmware.com/products/cloud-disaster-recovery.html">VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery</a>, an on-demand ransomware and disaster recovery service. New add-on cloud services are under development and are expected to be delivered in the future providing customers with a streamlined path to the cloud, should they choose to migrate down the road.

Simplified Consumption via a Flexible Subscription Model

With vSphere+ and vSAN+, organizations will be able to adopt a subscription-based consumption model for their on-premises deployments. Customers will further benefit from a single SKU that includes all necessary components (including VMware vCenter, VMware ESXi, Tanzu Standard Runtime, and Tanzu Mission Control Essentials), and support.

vSphere+ and vSAN+ are both new offerings and are expected to be available by the end of VMware’s FY23 Q2 (July 29, 2022). Tanzu Mission Control Essentials is a component of vSphere+ and is expected to be available in VMware’s FY23 Q3.

VMware is focused on accelerating growth of our subscription and SaaS portfolio as we provide customers the flexibility and choice they seek. 

VMware Horizon, our industry-leading virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and apps software, was one of the first products to go SaaS with the release of Horizon Universal Subscription at VMworld 2019. Since then, many Horizon customers have made the move from perpetual to subscription, making VMware’s End-User Computing business a leading driver of the company’s SaaS transformation.

But what about customers who aren’t ready to consume hybrid and multi-cloud use cases, workloads, and SaaS services?

Some competitors in the VDI space have taken a hard line with these organizations, forcing a SaaS offering on them without a plan to ease the transition from a perpetual offering. VMware has taken a more flexible, customer-centric approach. We provide customers choice and flexibility to consume our technology either on-prem and/or on SaaS. And when they are ready to make the move, we help them navigate the transition at their own pace that matches unique requirements.

Today VMware is announcing two new Horizon SaaS and subscription offerings – Horizon Standard Plus Subscription and Enterprise Plus Subscription – to meet customers where they are in their SaaS transformation (<a href="https://blogs.vmware.com/euc/2022/06/announcing-horizon-plus-subscription-offerings.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">read the blog post</a>). With these new editions, customers can deploy VDI and apps on a single private or public vSphere-based cloud while consuming new SaaS services that are being built on the cloud-hosted Horizon Control Plane. SaaS services that can be accessed with these new subscription offerings automate common tasks and optimize Day 2 operations and management of VDI and app environments to reduce IT time and cost.

These offerings provide a steppingstone to hybrid and multi-cloud VDI and apps. Once these customers are ready to unlock additional value from Horizon SaaS services that support multi-cloud workloads or management services, it’s an easy move to Horizon Universal Subscription.

Let’s hear from a customer who has embraced a multi-cloud approach to VDI.

The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) provides students a modern learning experience accessible from anywhere on or off campus. To deliver this experience, the college needed to embrace more cloud technology and establish a secure, virtual desktop infrastructure at scale.

Partnering with non-profit technology services provider, NJ Edge, the team rolled out VMware Horizon on VMware Cloud on AWS and onboarded 7,400 students to the new environment. In addition to the solution being less costly to manage, staff and students enjoy greater choice within the learning experience, which was crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic and for meeting student expectations into the future.

In reference to the benefits of adopting a cloud-first approach with Horizon Universal Subscription, Leonard Niebo, Associate Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Office of Information Technology at TCNJ, said, “When it comes to our IT, we can never be too flexible, agile or nimble. The more work we put into that, the more it will pay off in the future. With VMware, we’re ready for anything. We can scale, and with support from both VMware and NJ Edge, nothing is as difficult as it seems.”

Customers are not the only ones thrilled with the flexibility the various Horizon subscription offerings provide. The new subscription options allow VMware partners to better meet their customers’ specific needs. With these options, partners can help customers optimize on-premises deployments with the latest SaaS innovations on the Horizon Control Plane.

Sean Sullivan,  Business Development Manager for End User Computing at World Wide Technology (WWT) said, “If there’s one thing that will spook a customer, it’s a lack of choice. The way VMware has structured its subscription models allows for flexibility so we can provide customers with a digital workspace solution that allows them to consume SaaS services in the manner and timeline that makes the most sense for them.”

In closing, today’s news encapsulates VMware’s SaaS transformation strategy. It’s all about providing a seamless path to multi-cloud on the customer’s terms. A path that unlocks access to the latest cloud-native innovations that simplify current on-premises environment and provides a way to leverage the benefits of cloud now or in the future.

Comprehensive Mobile Security with VMware Workspace ONE Mobile Threat Defense

New Update Management Capabilities Helps Automate Windows Device Management

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- VMware Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise software, today unveiled innovations to its anywhere workspace platform, VMware Workspace ONE, that will make it easier for IT teams to manage and better secure all employee devices. New capabilities include:

“As the frequency and sophistication of threats continue to intensify, IT teams need a way to proactively detect threats across the entire device population and respond quickly. That is a tall order for taxed IT and Sec-Ops teams,” said Shankar Iyer, senior vice president and general manager, End-User Computing, VMware. “VMware Workspace ONE is ideally suited for the new security realities of enabling a hybrid workforce. Leveraging intelligence and injecting automation in every step of the process, it simplifies IT operations, improves security against modern threats, and empowers the best employee experience across any device, anywhere.”

Best In Class Security for Mobile Devices

Today’s mobile threat landscape is diverse, and mobile workstyles call for specialized protection from phishing and application, device, and rogue network originated threats. VMware Workspace ONE Mobile Threat Defense, a new add-on to the industry-leading Workspace ONE UEM platform, takes mobile protection to the next level. It incorporates mobile security technologies from Lookout, a leader in the space. The solution aims to address:

Application, device, and network protection via Workspace ONE Mobile Threat Defense can be activated within Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub. For IT, this means there are no separate apps or agents to download or deploy, and vital information – including alerts and suggested resolutions – is conveyed via a resource that employees use for daily work.

Introduces VMware ContexaTM Threat Intelligence, Powering VMware Security to Stop Threats Others Simply Can’t See

PALO ALTO, Calif. – June 2, 2022 – VMware Inc, (NYSE:VMW) today announced significant enhancements to its unique lateral security capabilities to help customers achieve strong security for both modern and traditional applications, across multi-cloud environments. Ahead of RSA Conference 2022, VMware introduced <a href="https://www.vmware.com/security/contexa.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Contexa</a>, VMware’s full-fidelity threat intelligence capability that observes the breadth of VMware’s network, endpoint, and user technologies. With Contexa, VMware is reframing traditional security analytics with enriched threat intelligence to enhance its security and management portfolio.

“Threat actors are increasingly deploying sophisticated infiltration tactics, including the use of stolen credentials in order to exploit vulnerabilities and hide in the noise of normalcy,” said Tom Gillis, senior vice president and general manager, Networking and Advanced Security Business Group, VMware. “In a world where the stakes in security continue to rise, lateral security has become the new battleground. Combining VMware Contexa with our architectural advantage, VMware exclusively sees every process running in an endpoint, every packet crossing the network, every access point, and the inner workings of both traditional and modern apps to identify and stop threats others can’t.” 

VMware Contexa Leaves Attackers with Nowhere to Hide

VMware Contexa is a full-fidelity threat intelligence cloud that sees what other solutions don’t and stops what other solutions can’t. With a privileged position in the infrastructure, Contexa observes and understands the inner workings of both modern and traditional apps every step of the way— from user, to device, to network, to run time, to data.  

VMware Contexa records and processes over 1.5 trillion endpoint eventsi and over 10 billion network flowsii daily, along with strategically curated threat intelligence data captured through technology partnerships. This rich context is further analyzed using machine learning and insights of over 500 researchers across VMware’s Threat Analysis Unit and incident response partners. Today, Contexa uncovers over 2.2 billion suspicious behaviors dailyiii, achieving zero touch detection and automated, graduated response for over 80 percent of these events.

Integrated into every VMware security product, Contexa will be available to all new and existing customers at no additional cost. The company that pioneered virtualization, now protects VMs like no other—and is driving innovation in modern application security.
