Private, public, and hybrid cloud infrastructure software

VMware overview

What is VMware?

VMware is a cloud infrastructure and management software that helps businesses integrate and manage private, public, or hybrid cloud environments to deliver and handle applications. The vRealize operations module uses machine learning technology to automatically optimize, plan, and scale multi-cloud and hyper converged infrastructure (HCI) deployments.

VMware's vSphere solution provides a lifecycle manager and planner to handle software patching and firmware upgrades on a centralized platform. The vCenter interface enables administrators to configure role-based access rights and manage team wide policies for virtual machines (VMs), containers, and Kubernetes clusters. Teams can use vSAN to handle storage virtualization operations across several OEM and native servers, including AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and IBM Cloud.

VMware provides API and command-line interface (CLI), which enables developers to access and develop infrastructure and applications across multiple cloud environments. vRealize Automation platform enables users to deliver IT services via IT process automation and self-service provisioning, governance, delivery, and lifecycle management of infrastructures and applications.

Great experience in a horrible situation. Responsive support staff, and knowledge technicians.

Pros
Luckily we had an existing relationship with VMWare when Covid shutdowns started. This allowed us to move over 3000 employees to work from home in less than 45 days

Cons
The cost. You get what you pay for, and VMWare delivers performance and ease of use, but it still send like there should be a win/win solution somewhere.

Not much not to like. When this works. It's amazing. Sometimes connections are frustrating but can't blame the app.
