VMworld General Session
26/8/19 Make your mark
Pat started with this
sessions theme which is Tech in The Age of Any ,
In this first General
Session, Pat Gelsinger introduced us to the new members of the VMware family.
These are:
The world’s most
established companies run on Pivotal. The results are transformational. Through
adoption of our platform, tools, and methodology, these companies have
unleashed innovation and reduced time-to-market, spending less to maintain
their existing application portfolio. Results span industries, including
automotive, financial services, industrial, media, retail, government,
technology, and telecommunications.
Building software that
matters - Our cloud-native platform, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, enables developers
to spend more time writing code, and operators to improve security and uptime.
Together, these teams deliver greater business value at lower costs.
Solving Security As A Big Data
Problem - Cybersecurity has become a big data problem. Solving it requires
sophisticated analytics and the computational power and agility of the cloud.
With the CB Predictive Security Cloud platform, we are transforming
cybersecurity with a cloud-native endpoint protection platform (EPP) designed
to protect against the most advanced threats.
Digital Life vs Daily
Life has Now become Digital Life
In the past we used to
have set times for email, work and using tech, then as time progresses digital
assistants came along allowing us to access email on the go. We then had the
advent of the smart phone, which gave us full internet access.
Wearables came into play
allowing us to monitor texts, emails, health, and then take that data and push
it to the cloud, this allows us to analyse data and make decisions based on
that data, whether that be investments, or figuring out how to lose that weight
and become healthier.
However, this leads to us
always being “on”, and sometimes never taking the time to just relax.
Apps Everywhere
In 2009 there was approximately
52 Million Apps in the World, with 5 Million App Developers, move forward to
2019 and now we have 335 Million Apps, with 13.5 Million App Developers, moving
forward 5 years and we think there will be 792 Million Apps.
VMware in the Cloud
VMware are developing
Cloud technologies such as 5G, Edge Computing and AI, and redefining what’s
possible for applications.
VMware are firmly committed
in using tech for good, and as such support many companies that do good, such
as Mercyships and Angel MedFlight
VMware has a vision of Any
Device, running any app, on any cloud, and as such VMware believe that
technologists who master multi-cloud will own the next decade.
VMware have enhanced their
multi-cloud strategy to work alongside AWS, Microsoft Azure, GCP, and IBM
Cloud, allowing apps to be built, ran, managed, connected, and protected on any
cloud.
VMware and Kubernetes
Joe Beda, who was one of
the original developers and adopters of Kubernetes joined Pat to explain that
Kubernetes was developed to bridge the gap between Developers and Operation
teams, VMware are working to produce platforms that are flexible and easy to
develop.
VMware Tanzu allows Modern
Apps to be built with Pivotal and Bitnami, and ran on vSphere with Project Pacific
which will run Kubernetes natively within vSphere clusters and finally Managed
with Kubernetes for developers AND IT using VMware Tanzu Mission
Control, which will in turn manage Kubernetes on any platform.
Cloud Health by VMware
Last year VMware acquired CloudHealth,
the product is a multi-cloud management solution and currently has 7000+
customers, $10B+ services under management and gives customers on average a 25%
cost save.
VMware today announced
CloudHealth Hybrid, this platform will provide Cost and Visibility, Governance
and Security, Automation, and Service integration with Private cloud in the
form od VMware vSphere, and also Public Cloud with AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google
Cloud, and IBM.
VMware explain their
thoughts on the differences between Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Cloud
Multi-Cloud – Diverse Infrastructure,
across multiple clouds
Hybrid-Cloud – Consistent Infrastructure,
across connected clouds.
VMware have developed VMware
Cloud Foundation for their Hybrid-Cloud Solution, bringing together vSphere the
leading hypervisor for compute, vSAN the leading HCI software and appliance for
storage, NSX the leading software defined networking product, and vRealize ,
the leading Cloud Multi-Platform management solution.
VMware VMC on AWS is now
the leading Hybrid-Cloud solution, as customers now what to both modernise and
migrate, VMware Cloud allows companies to migrate to the cloud with No
downtime, No refactoring, and No retraining, using the Same tools, the Same policies
and, the Same skills.
VMware have also announced
Azure VMware Solutions Global availability, which is now available in US West,
US East, and West Europe, soon tobe available in US West 2, South Central,
Northern Europe, and South East Asia, and finally available in Canada and Japan
in 2020.
VMware have also released
VMware Hybrid Cloud Services to allow management of clouds across multiple providers.
VMware in the Edge and also with Telcos
What is the Edge, it’s
where the physical and digital worlds interact, and provides, distributed, low-latency
infrastructure located close to where data is created, processed, protected,
and/or consumed.
VMware provides various technologies
to run and manage Edge Solutions, such as Pulse IoT Center and NSX, SD-WAN by
VeloCloud, and VMware Network Functionalisation.
5G has moved from hardware
based and is utilising virtualisation to run the services with products such as
VMware Uhana
VMware are now using NSX-T
to connect both VMware and non-VMware systems together. NSX-T provides
firewall, load balancing and other networking services fully in software. NSX
customers are seeing a 59% reduction on CAPEX costs, and a 55% improvement in
OPEX.
VMware Digital
Workspace
VMware Workspace One is a
product that allows management and security of multi-device , and multi-operating
systems including IOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Chrome, VMware wants all
employees worldwide to use Workspace One
Companies are being asked
Why invest in Digital Employee Experience? Answer is companies that do, are
more likely to be an industry leader, are more likely to be a growth company,
and are more likely to have a positive Employee Net Promotor Score.
Workspace one virtual
assistant
Is a product that starts
from the job offer letter, the new start downloads Workspace One Virtual
assistant and this allows the new start to be ready for their first day, this
includes allowing them to select their new laptop, accessories, and even their
type of desk.
On the first day the new
start receives digital notification to activate their full company portal
access, this includes apps, team members, and FAQ sections for the company.
Intrinsic Security
Today there is over 5000
security companies in IT , VMware believe their must be a better way, and their
solution should be security on any device, in any App, on any cloud.
There are five points of
intrinsic Security.
·
Endpoint –
Devices
·
Identity – Users
·
Endpoint –
Workload
·
Cloud
·
Network
VMware now provide Carbon
Black. The leader in Endpoint Detection Response. This is an AI enabled Data
lake and provides Endpoint Protection Response, Next-Gen AV, Device control, Rogue
device detection, audit and remediation, compliance reporting, and managed
detection.
VMware are going to add in
App defence and vulnerability management. VMware also plan to integrate the
product with vSphere allowing agentless workload security.
VMware are also going to integrate
Carbon Black into Workspace One.
VMware are also going to
integrate Carbon Black with NSX
VMware also plan to allow
their products to also secure the hardware running software with their
partnership with Dell and other VARs.
