Today VMware announced a new technology preview focused on evolving its architecture for the data center, cloud, and edge to address the changing requirements of next-generation applications, Project Monterey. This new technology will extend VMware Cloud Foundation to support SmartNIC technology that will see a performance boost, better security, and more consistent operations in applications. VMware is working with several partners for solutions bases on Project Monterey including Intel, NVIDIA, and Pensando Systems and system companies Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), and Lenovo.

While there is a lot happening in the world at large that is changing the way users interact with technology, there are also several technological shifts on the horizon that have been a long time coming. These changes include 5G, next-gen apps, cloud-native, data-centric, machine learning, hybrid apps, and the continuing effect of AI. While all of the above is beneficial, dealing with it on the IT side of things is getting more challenging. Mainly, organizations are using some type of accelerator to offload some of the tax on the systems, namely GPUs, FPGAs, and NICs. This helps with the issue but creates separate problems like siloing, specialized skillsets, and higher TCO. Project Monterey aims to help with the above.
The three main ways Project Monterey will tackle next-gen apps are the following:
The initiative is all about agility and flexibility to allow customers to adapt their data center, cloud, or edge environments to meet the needs of new technology without giving up performance, availability, or security. Project Monterey will extend VMware infrastructure and operations for all applications, which should reduce complexity as well as TCO. VMware states that its VMware’s Cloud Provider Partners will be able to deploy a more secure multi-tenant cloud environment where they host their customers. Telcos, for example, can use the initiative to build highly-efficient fully-virtualized 5G infrastructure.
Project Monterey is a technology preview, and therefore we don’t know when VMware will release more details.
