Introducing VMware Secure App IX

Today, we are thrilled to announce VMware Secure App IX, a new offering designed to help cloud IT and Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) teams achieve borderless governance and compliance by securely connecting applications in multi-cloud environments and application teams and lines of business (LOB) by accelerating their digital transformation initiatives.

Enterprises are increasingly running applications in the cloud to drive innovation, agility, and growth. As organizations adopt multi-cloud strategies to leverage the strengths of different cloud providers, they face new challenges with ensuring secure and compliant application connectivity across clouds and platforms.

In their drive to innovate and compete, enterprises have embraced multiple cloud environments. Multi-cloud adoption has increased the need for seamless and secure application connectivity across disparate clouds, app workloads, data services, and application architectures.

Needs of Cloud IT & CCoE Teams

Cloud IT and Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) teams must address many complex requirements when providing secure connectivity for applications running in the cloud. Let’s look at some of these requirements in more detail.

Any-to-Any Secure Connectivity

Enterprise application modernization is an ongoing process rather than a one-time event. As new technologies emerge and business needs evolve, enterprises must continually update and modernize their Continue reading

Explore VMware’s Modern App Connectivity Services with Amazon EKS-Anywhere

As enterprises accelerate their application modernization journey, there is a stronger need for running applications across multi-cloud environments. Today, AWS announced General Availability of Amazon EKS-Anywhere, expanding the AWS portfolio to support these use cases.

We are thrilled to integrate with and extend EKS by providing secure connectivity services that work cross-cluster and cross-cloud with VMware’s Modern App Connectivity Services. By delivering these capabilities, applications can enjoy the level of resiliency, scalability, and security needed for enterprise-critical applications.

VMware Modern App Connectivity Services accelerate the path to app modernization by extending connectivity and security between EKS and EKS-D, and to other platforms. Built on cloud-native principles, it enables a set of important use cases that automate the process of connecting, observing, scaling, and better-securing applications.

VMware enables EKS customers to leverage connectivity, resiliency, and security capabilities:

1. Application connectivity
   Across both multi-cluster and hybrid clouds, in addition to VM environments.  This enables discoverability and connectivity between distributed microservices across hybrid EKS, EKS-D, and VMware vSphere environments.
2. Application resiliency 
   This enables cluster load balancing level on-prem to communicate with the rest of the customer’s environments both on-prem and on the cloud with this global load balancing solution.
3. Application security
   This enables Continue reading
