VMware touts multicloud networking, security, management upgrades
VMware is looking to ease the networking, security and management hassles of running enterprise multicloud environments with a raft of new products introduced at its VMware Explore 2022 conclave in Las Vegas this week.
The new products include a SaaS-based upgrade for the company’s core networking software, NSX, as well a new cloud-native management service, VMware Aria, and integrated security features.
The driving idea behind all of the new products is to simplify the growing complexity of the network architecture connecting multicloud applications and their services, said Tom Ellis, senior vice president and general manager at VMware. That’s because VMware research shows 580 million workloads are expected to run on diverse, distributed environments spanning public cloud, on-premises, edge, telco clouds, and hosted clouds by 2024.
