Overall strategy: "VMware Cross-Cloud Services" corresponding to the multi-cloud era

First of all, it is a new overall strategy as a Vehemware to support customers in the multi -cloud era.

In the key notebook, Mr. Lagram says, "The current standard enterprise uses 464 business applications on average, and 75 % of companies use two or more public clouds, and 40 % or more."And explain the current situation.

For that reason, the tasks arising from IT infrastructure, applications, diversification of work environment, and silo.Each is dispersed, so it has a complex configuration, and the management is divided into each other, causing silo.It is not an easy -to -use and efficient environment for both application developers, IT managers, and users.

In order to solve these customer issues, Vehemware will provide integrated cloud services (SaaS groups), which are consistent in the distributed multi -cloud environment.This is the "VMware Cross-Cloud Services" announced in this VMWORLD.

VMware Cross-Cloud Services consists of five building blocks."App platforms" for building / deploying cloud native apps, "cloud infrastructure" that support entertainment app execution / operation, "cloud management" that monitors / manage the performance and cost of apps in a different kind of cloud environment."Security + Network", which provides application connection and security across the entire multi -cloud, is a "digital work space + edge" that realizes a decentralized work environment and edge environment.An existing service is also incorporated here.

New announcements were also made in each area (from the key note screen)

Mr. Lagram has mentioned two major features of VMware Cross-Cloud Services.One is that the modular composition has high flexibility for customers to adopt the optimal service on any cloud.The other is that it can provide value to all companies, from large enterprises to cloud native emerging companies.

In the current multi -cloud environment, he must select "either (or)" of flexibility and control in all situations, but in the Vehemware approach, they can select "both (and)".Explain that it can be changed.

The autonomy of developers and the efficiency of DevSecops, freedom of cloud selection and reliable control / cost reduction, environment where employees can access regardless of location, such "either (or)" selectionChange the ones that have been changed to "both (and)"

"What does" Cross-Cloud "bring? I call it" Enterprise SoverEignty ", but it is an environment in a multi-cloud that allows customers to make decisions and control themselves.Just like "Data SoverEignty", which has the initiative in company data, customers can maintain "freedom of choice" from now on. Vehemware is a business in the age of multi -cloud.Providing freedom and control of choice that you need to promote "(Lagram)

Modern app infrastructure: Free version TANZU and "Tanzu Application Platform"

From here on, I would like to break down to each product portfolio and look at the contents of this announcement.First of all, from the VMware Tanzu portfolio, a platform that supports the development and development of modern applications.
