VMware announced that it will open the era of cloud smarts through VMware 'Aria', which can easily solve management difficulties in today's complex and distributed multi-cloud data environment and even provide business insights.

VMware held a press conference at the Oakwood COEX Hotel on the 7th to introduce VMware Aria.

Seok-Geun Yoo, Executive Director of VMware Solution Engineering, who was in charge of the presentation that day, emphasized the importance of cloud management platforms in the increasingly complex multi-cloud environment.

Executive Director Yoo Seok-geun recently revealed that the server environment is changing to a multi-cloud environment for reasons such as △rich services for developers △easy self-service consumption △excellent scalability △global geographical availability.

However, despite these advantages, there are still issues such as: △Which apps should be deployed on the cloud △Whether each cloud consistently applies policies △Whether cost-performance is carefully optimized △Whether cost, security, and performance are considered. He noted that multi-cloud management has become critical due to rapidly changing business requirements, increasing technical complexity, fragmented processes and organizational models, etc., including whether the analysis is being done accurately.

Accordingly, VMware emphasized that its multi-cloud management solution, 'Aria', announced last August, can solve this problem.

VMware Aria can automate and simplify IT management in multi-cloud environments. It provides continuous performance optimization, efficient capacity and cost management, proactive planning, intelligent problem resolution, and integrated compliance.

It also maximizes the potential return on investment that can be realized in a multi-cloud environment and enables the establishment of optimal IT strategies by integrating visibility across multiple clouds.

It can simplify management from migration assessment and planning to hybrid cloud operations in your operating environment, and it can monitor heterogeneous environments in multi-cloud environments and make intelligent management decisions.

VMware Aria's end-to-end solutions include VMware Aria Guardrails, VMware Aria Migration, and VMware Aria Business Insights.

VMware Aria Guardrails automates the application of cloud guardrails that support large-scale networking, security, cost, performance, and configuration for multi-cloud environments through an all-encompassing code-as-you-go approach.

VMware Aria Migration automates assessment, planning, and execution in conjunction with VMware HCX. This accelerates and simplifies your multi-cloud migration journey.

VMware Aria Business Insights leverages AI/ML analytics to derive relevant business insights from correlations of events across the entire stack.

Executive Director Yoo Seok-geun said, “VMware Aria is a product that VMware launched after considering how to manage the new multi-cloud environment more efficiently,” and “It is expected that the environment will change to a multi-cloud environment by 2024, and VMware Aria will help support business decision-making in this change.”
