At the same time, VMware also announced further enhancements to its virtual networking products and services to help its customers develop a modern network of their own.
The Modern Network framework addresses customer needs to quickly and cost effectively respond to change. Specifically, application developers need to quickly deploy, test, and iterate applications.
In addition, the infrastructure powering applications needs to deliver the efficiency of cloud operating models. Applications then need to run on everything from private clouds to public clouds to edge computing, and the user to application experience needs to be great, regardless of their location.
“Our customers must efficiently manage the rapid shift to remote work, deliver applications faster and more securely, and reduce the cost and complexity of connecting and protecting the distributed enterprise,” said Rajiv Ramaswami (pictured), chief operating officer, products and cloud services, VMware.
“The Modern Network framework enables our customers to do this. It turns the old way of thinking about networks as hardware appliances, switches, and routers in enterprise networks on its head and instead, takes a top-down view that puts users and applications first. This is the promise we are delivering on with the Virtual Cloud Network.”
The Virtual Cloud Network embodies the Modern Network framework giving organisations an end-to-end solution to deploy applications and make sure they are running optimally and efficiently, while enabling a great user experience.
Powered by the VMware NSX family of products, the Virtual Cloud Network enables the public cloud experience for enterprise workloads running in private and multi-cloud environments. Just as in the public cloud, NSX enables automated deployment of the full workload. NSX provides infrastructure services that are defined entirely in scale-out software, delivered on general purpose servers, and built into the CI/CD pipeline so the services are automatically deployed with the application.
