“Customers are accelerating digital transformation by deploying applications across clouds, with upwards of two-thirds of enterprises deploying applications on three or more clouds today,” said Raghu Raghuram, COO, Products and Cloud Services, VMware.

“VMware Cloud brings a consistent operating model, enterprise control, and investment protection for IT resources and skillsets to a multi-cloud world. With these new services, we are preserving developer agility and freedom to drive innovation.”

VMware NSX momentum
With more than 2,600 customers, VMware NSX is the network virtualization and security platform that is helping customers make the transition to the digital era. As developers increasingly use containers, and the percentage of workloads running in public clouds increases, VMware NSX is expanding to offer a full range of networking and security services, natively, in these environments.

VMware NSX is the de facto network for the software-defined data center, and a key component of VMware Cloud Foundation, VMware Cloud on AWS and multiple VMware Cloud Services. VMware Cloud Provider partners are adopting NSX to deliver services that unlock new revenue streams.

Open and secure by design, scalable across different environments and delivered as code, NSX gives developers and partners the best environment to innovate on top of – while adhering to the needs and policies set in place by their business.
