VMware has updated its cloud management portfolio - VMware vCloud Suite - and also added a new product to the suite, VMware vCloud Automation Centre 5.1.
During the VMworld 2012 Europe conference, the virtualisation and cloud computing vendor noted that it has updated the VMware IT Business Management Suite to further simplify and automate management while empowering IT to govern services across multiple, heterogeneous clouds.
"Businesses of all sizes are leveraging a decade of virtualisation investments to transform IT through the software-defined data centre," said Raghu Raghuram, executive VP, cloud infrastructure and management, VMware.
"VMware's cloud management offerings fundamentally recast management for the cloud era, allowing customers to operate at cloud scale and begin to act as brokers of IT services to the business."
According to the company, VMware cloud management solutions help deliver the software-defined data centre, allowing organisations to achieve the efficiency and agility of cloud computing.
"The flexibility and scalability enabled by our VMware-powered private cloud helps us address business needs by accelerating the delivery of business-critical applications and services," said Fred Pond, VP and CIO at Columbia Sportswear.
"Our investment in VMware cloud management helps us simplify and automate the management of our cloud. This powerful combination means Columbia Sportswear is able to respond to business and market opportunities faster than ever before."
