Meet vSphere+ and vSAN+
As a result of its developments on Project Arctic, VMware on June 28 unveiled vSphere+ and vSAN+.
In essence, these platforms bring the benefits of cloud to on-premises infrastructure, on an opex basis. (We’ll dig into this shift a couple slides in — stick around.)
Specific cloud-centric features include the following:
• Centralized management through the VMware Cloud Console for global inventory, configuration, alerts, administration and security status.
• Access to new services.
• Options for subscription purchasing.
Deploying vSphere+ and vSAN+ will not require changes to users’ existing hardware or software, VMware said.
