Applications are more important than ever, but managing those applications
has become much more challenging due to a number of factors:
tremendously.

operating costs. One huge
benefit of using vRealize
has been the ability to
dramatically improve
consolidation ratios (ratio
of VMs to CPUs).
Before vRealize, we tended
to hover around 8:1, but now

IT Automating IT
The growth of public cloud raised the bar for IT responsiveness, and now
IT teams are modernizing their approach to delivering shared service
infrastructure. While maintaining a relatively static headcount, IT must
respond faster to a higher volume of requests and maximize their capital
budgets with an efficient use of resources. Many IT teams have partially
automated service delivery through scripts and configuration management
tools, but there remains a huge opportunity for further improvement.
Challenges include:
Provisioning resources still requires significant human intervention,
resulting in errors and lost productivity.
Standardization has been lagging. Too many models and too much
variability makes response time slower than acceptable to line-ofbusiness partners.
An inability to track and manage deployed resources leaves IT teams
unable to maximize the use of data center resources.
vRealize Suite makes provisioning resources faster, with better utilization
of data center resources and IT staff time. The solution allows teams to:
Embed automation and policy within blueprints, allowing productionready infrastructure to be stood up in minutes rather than weeks.
Right-size, reclaim or retire already provisioned resources in order to
maximize capital expenditures.
Continuously monitor the health, performance, capacity and costs of
already provisioned resources.

issues including:
resource provisioning.
DevOps teams can use vRealize Suite along with VMware vRealize Code
Stream to build a private or hybrid cloud that increases developer
hybrid cloud.
Provide both self-service and an API approach to support developer
choice in how resources are accessed.

From a Trusted
Industry Leader
VMware virtualization technologies have saved IT organizations large and small billions of
dollars in capital expenses. Through the SDDC, VMware is re-imagining the data center by
extending the paradigm of resource abstraction to all infrastructure domains, across both
on-premises and public cloud environments. VMwares CMP is a critical capability within an
SDDC architecture, and the cloud management capabilities that comprise the CMP have
been proven through thousands of deployments across both mission critical and largescale environments. Customers trust in VMware, along with the technical strength of
VMwares cloud management offerings, have made VMware the leading vendor in both
cloud systems management and cloud automation1 .
