Best Management for the Software-Defined Data Center
The vRealize Suite Cloud Management Platform (CMP) is the
management control plane for the Software-Defined Data Center
(SDDC). Native integrations across VMware technologies makes
vRealize Suite the best choice for organizations building out an
SDDC based on VMware virtualization technologies.
The integration across vRealize Suite management domains
means that VMware can provide a holistic and integrated
approach to the management of a SDDC. For example, within
VMware’s vRealize Suite, operational capabilities that highlight
resource inefficiencies within the infrastructure are connected
with automation capabilities that can manage the reclamation
of unused resources.
VMware’s CMP technologies are also natively integrated with
other VMware SDDC solutions. For instance, VMware NSX®
constructs such as networking and firewalling are natively
available for inclusion in service templates created using
VMware’s CMP. This means that virtual networks, load
balancers, and firewalls can be instantiated on demand when
provisioning resources.
