VMware Aria Multi-Cloud Management Portfolio Unveiled

Today at VMware Explore 2022, VMware unveiled a multi-cloud management portfolio called VMware Aria, a set of end-to-end solutions for managing the cost, performance, configuration, and delivery of infrastructure and cloud-native applications. VMware Aria is powered by VMware Aria Graph, a graph-based data store technology that reduces multi-cloud complexity.

Today at VMware Explore 2022, VMware unveiled a multi-cloud management portfolio called VMware Aria, a set of end-to-end solutions for managing the cost, performance, configuration, and delivery of infrastructure and cloud-native applications. VMware Aria is powered by VMware Aria Graph, a graph-based data store technology that reduces multi-cloud complexity.

Multi-Cloud Management

The announcement of VMware Aria comes with new and expanded cloud-native and multi-cloud management capabilities across three categories; VMware Aria Cost powered by CloudHealth, VMware Aria Operations, and VMware Aria Automation.

VMware Aria complements and extends management of the development, delivery, DevSecOps, and lifecycle of cloud-native apps in VMware Tanzu platform. VMware Aria is anchored by VMware Aria Hub, which provides
centralized views and controls to manage the entire multi-cloud environment. It leverages VMware Aria Graph to provide a common definition of applications, resources, roles, and accounts.

VMware Aria Graph is a graph-based data store that captures the resources and relationships of a multi-cloud environment. Expressly designed for the operational challenges of cloud-native applications and environments, VMware Aria Graph provides a single source of truth that is updated in near-real time.

Other solutions on the market were designed primarily for change management processes and asset tracking. By contrast, VMware Aria Graph is designed expressly for cloud-native operations.

Leveraging a fundamentally different architecture to capture many-to-many relationships, scale to hundreds of millions of objects, and be updated in near-real time, VMware Aria Graph meets the multi-cloud management requirements of the
largest and most demanding enterprise.

VMware Aria’s graph data store and API services enable it to seamlessly integrate with third-party solutions such as observability and application performance management tools. Data collected and normalized from native public clouds, on-prem clouds, VMware tools, and third-party tools within Aria Graph enriches operations, automation, and cost metrics in customers’ existing VMware vRealize, CloudHealth by VMware, and VMware Tanzu Observability products bringing application-aware management to private/hybrid clouds in addition to native public clouds.

VMware Launches New End-to-End Solutions to Deliver Cloud Governance, Cloud Migration, and Business Insights at Scale

Multi-cloud introduces new, difficult-to-solve management challenges that cut across today’s complex, distributed environments. VMware Aria provides features and functions that span management disciplines and clouds to deliver unique value for multi-cloud governance, cross-cloud migration, and actionable business insights.

VMware is announcing three new management services built on top of VMware Aria Hub and VMware Aria Graph:

  • VMware Aria Automation Guardrails – Automate enforcement of cloud guardrails for networking, security, cost, performance, and configuration at scale for multi-cloud environments with an everything-as-code approach
  • VMware Aria Migration – Accelerate and simplify the multi-cloud migration journey by automating assessment, planning, and execution
  • VMware Aria Business Insights – Discern relevant business insights from full-stack event correlation leveraging AI/ML analytics

Introducing the New VMware Aria Family Name

VMware also introduced a new, single Cloud Management family name – VMware Aria. Customers of VMware’s multi-cloud management solutions – VMware vRealize, CloudHealth by VMware Suite, and Tanzu Observability by Wavefront – will be entitled to the corresponding VMware Aria offering. VMware Aria Cost, VMware Aria Operations, and VMware Aria Automation provide customers with a comprehensive set of solutions for consistent delivery and operations of infrastructure and application services across any and many clouds.

Aria Availability

VMware Aria Graph will be available to customers as a capability within VMware Aria Hub. First introduced at VMworld 2021 as Project Ensemble, VMware Aria Hub provides centralized views and controls to manage the entire multi-cloud environment.
