Announces
Virtual Cloud Network to deliver an end-to-end software-defined network
architecture withintrinsic security for apps across Data Center, Branch, Cloud,
and Edge

THE PHILIPPINES – June 28, 2018 – VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise
software, unveiled its vision for the future of networkingat its annual Evolve
Forum in Manila. The companylaunched the Virtual Cloud Network, a new network
approach that will empower businesses in the Philippines toachieve their
digital transformation goals by unlocking value from today’s networking
technologies amidst an increasingly complex environment.
Organizations in the Philippines are embarking
on digital transformation journeys to create better experiences for customers,
clients, and employees, and achieve better business outcomes. This is also
driven by the increasing end-user connectivity, with over 50 million
peopleaccessing the internet in the Philippines, projected to grow to 57.84 million
in 2022[1].
Likewise, the mobile penetration rate is growing at the rate of 1.5x (or 30
million users) annually - from 101 million mobile subscriptions to a total of
119 million with a penetration rate of 117%[2].
In view of this, as organizations strive to
offer more touchpoints across different devices, there are increased networking
and security complexities as they move from centralized data centers to hyper
distributed applications and centers of data at the edge.
To this end, the network must evolve to
deliver an everything-to-everything connected architecture across private data
centers, public clouds, telecommunications networks, branches, and endpoints. They
must also deliver multi-cloud networking, security, and management capabilities
that provide a common operating model from the data center to the cloud to the
branch.
“Everything of value is connected to the
network, and this is accelerated through the increasing use of IoT, 5G, AI, and
other emerging technologies as users connect not only through their desktop and
laptop computers, but also via mobile devices. To be future-ready and leverage
this opportunity, businesses in the Philippines need to be equipped with the
right network foundation,” said Sanjay K.
Deshmukh, vice president and managing director, SEAK, VMware.
“A digital foundation built on VMware enables
organizations to flex and harness new technology at the speed which it evolves
without disrupting business operations. Today, I’m very excited to announce the
software-defined Virtual Cloud Network, a new network approachfor the next 20
yearsthat will provideorganizations with robust and more secure connectivity,”
said Deshmukh.
Virtual Cloud Network: A New Network Approach
With applications and data now residing everywhere, companies can no
longer rely solely on a hardware-based network deployed inside their data
center to run their business. With a Virtual Cloud Network, businesses will be
able to create an end-to-end software-based network architecture that delivers
services to applications and data, wherever they are located.
The Virtual Cloud Network will operate at global
scale from edge to edge and deliver consistent, pervasive connectivity and intrinsic
security for apps and data, independent of underlying physical infrastructure
or location.
In order to support a secure network intrinsicly,
VMware announced the VMware NSX networking and security portfolio
which provides a common operating environment for customers to connect, secure
and operate a Virtual Cloud Network. The portfolio enables consistent,
pervasive connectivity and intrinsic security for apps and data across
software-defined data center, branch, cloud, and telco environments. Customers will be able to manage consistent
networking and intrinsic security across private data centers, AWS, Azure, and
IBM Cloud.
The VMware NSX networking and security
portfolio includes:
- VMware NSX Data Center, one of the industry’s most widely deployed network virtualization platform for the enterprise data center, adopted by more than 4,500 customers globally.
- VMware NSX SD-WAN by VeloCloud, the industry-leading Software-Defined Wide Area Networking solution that combines the economics and flexibility of the best real-time network overlay with the deployment speed, scale and automation of cloud-delivered services.
- VMware NSX Cloud provides consistent networking and intrinsic security for applications running in both private VMware-based data centers and natively in public clouds.
- VMware NSX Hybrid Connect enables customers to solve one of the biggest challenges with hybrid cloud– consistent networking.
“Powerful applications are now critical in
sharpening a business’ competitive edgeorboosting the quality of public sector services.
As the Philippines progresses on its digital strategic plan and smart city
vision, we are committed to equipping organizations in the Philippines with the
right tools to better innovate and deliver, manage, secure, and connect apps to
users and data, wherever they may be,” said Victor Silvino, Country Manager, VMware Philippines.
