VMware: A leading provider of multi-cloud services for all apps

The first course in a 3-part series prepares you for expert in VMware.



What Is VMware?

VMware is a virtualization and cloud computing software provider based in Palo Alto, Calif. Founded in 1998, VMware is a subsidiary of Dell Technologies. EMC Corporation originally acquired VMware in 2004; EMC was later acquired by Dell Technologies in 2016. VMware bases its virtualization technologies on its bare-metal hypervisor ESX/ESXi in x86 architecture.

With VMware server virtualization, a hypervisor is installed on the physical server to allow for multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on the same physical server. Each VM can run its own operating system (OS), which means multiple OSes can run on one physical server. All the VMs on the same physical server share resources, such as networking and RAM. In 2019, VMware added support to its hypervisor to run containerized workloads in a Kubernetes cluster in a similar way. These types of workloads can be managed by the infrastructure team in the same way as virtual machines and the DevOps teams can deploy containers as they were used to.

Scope Of VMware:

The company intends to beef up security and networking, reinforce its dominance in cloud management, and become a major player in the world of multicloud management including the emergence of Kubernetes platforms for managing hybrid and multicloud compute capabilities.

VMware is a great place to work with of course ifs and buts.. it really cares about its employees, managers are required to be genuinely helpful to the reportees, work life balance is good, benefits are OK.

VMware is emerging technology in virtualization and cloud computing services for an organization. It’s a demanding IT career job now and also in the future the demand for this post will be high. VMware is deployed in many big organizations for maintaining their IT business. VMware provides an excellent feature to the end users. Cloud computing and virtualization has solved many issues of an organization with an ease.



Why use VMware?

Virtual machines are capable of running one instance of any operating system such as Microsoft, Linux, etc. Here are three reasons why VMware workstation is useful: Allows the user to run more than one operating system on the same computer. It saves the current OS configuration as virtual machines.

More efficient use of energy and space: VMware lets you run more applications using fewer physical servers. Fewer physical servers require less space in your data center and less energy to power and cool. Industry support: VMware is the foremost provider of virtualization services, with over 500,000 customers.

Benefits of VMware

In determining whether VMware is the right provider of virtualization software and solutions for your needs, let’s first examine some of the associated benefits.

Reduced Operating Costs and Capital:

By virtue of leveraging virtualization, better utilization will typically lead to lower operating costs. VMware is a leader in virtualization in terms of product innovation and customer satisfaction, which means that most organizations can make the most of their products.

Large Network of Third-Party Providers:

There are a lot of choices when it comes to VMware. From sourcing software and solutions from the company directly to working within their approved partner network, IT professionals aim to gain a lot from turning to VMware.

Simplified Data Center Management:

This is another benefit associated with virtualization overall, but it’s hard to deny just how many experts look to VMware as a leader in the space. They’ve coined the term, Software-Defined Data Center, and it's apparent in the strategy and framework behind their full suite of offerings.

Provide network and security:

VMs provide us one more product that helps us in the storage and availability part which is known as vSAN, it provides us the software-based storage for us, but it is integrated with another VMs product named as vSphere what it does will pool out the disk storage for us from the multiple ESXi and provide it via smart policy. It also integrated with the vSphere availability, and helps us to offer increased compute and also storage available as well.

Provides virtual desktop infrastructure

One of the benefits of using this is we can use the desktop from anywhere we want. From this we do not require to have full desktop setup in the workplace, we can use VMware Horizon which allows us to manage and run the Windows desktop from VMware cloud or AWS. This removes a lot of things for us like we do not require to manage and setup the full desktop at the workplace, also it helps reduce the monitoring and managing user security, centralizes management as well. We can use this with two more VMware product which named as Dynamic Environment manager and App Volumes, which helps us in application delivery and managing the Windows desktop.
