VMware Sovereign Cloud Initiative Grows to 14
partners
VMware Launches New App Modernization and Data
Services for All VMware Cloud Providers
The growing importance of data sovereignty, scrutiny of data
access and control, and increasing geo-political friction is
leading governments and regulated industries to closely analyze
their cloud strategies and evaluate whom may have access to their
data. The VMware Sovereign Cloud initiative helps customers
identify and engage with trusted national or regional cloud service
providers to meet their unique sovereign cloud requirements. Today,
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) is announcing the expansion of the
initiative with new partners, as well as new cloud-native
developer-centric capabilities that bring more value to all VMware
Cloud provider offerings.
The newest VMware Sovereign Cloud designated partners are IONOS
SE, Saudi Telecom Company (STC), Sopra Steria AS, and TDRA. This
brings the total to 14 participants in the VMware Sovereign Cloud
initiative in distinct sovereign regions covering Canada, Mexico,
Sweden, Norway, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, New Zealand,
Australia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, India, and the United States.
“We are pleased to welcome new partners to our Sovereign Cloud
initiative and see existing partners demonstrate momentum in
meeting the sovereign cloud requirements of customers around the
world,” said Rajeev Bhardwaj, vice president of product management,
cloud infrastructure business group, VMware. “New data services
from Tanzu will enable all our VMware Cloud Provider partners,
particularly, sovereign cloud-focused partners, to expand their
data and application transformation portfolios and accelerate cloud
adoption. This will allow customers to remain within sovereign
regions and jurisdictional control while achieving cutting edge
transformation at scale.”
Customers Worldwide Turn to Sovereign Clouds built on
VMware
VMware Cloud providers offer Sovereign Cloud solutions for
customers in regulated industries, such as banking and finance,
healthcare, local retail and ecommerce, energy, government
services, defense, intelligence, regional telecom, and public
sectors.
Hummingbird, an Australian IT services company providing a range
of business enhancing services across government and the private
sector, partnered with AUCloud as a sovereign cloud provider.
“Providing digital and managed services solutions across a broad
range of industries, it is imperative that we meet the constantly
evolving challenges of data protection, availability and
governance,” said Andrew Thomlinson-Munn, Solutions Architect,
Hummingbird Solutions. “Hummingbird Solutions choose to work with
AUCloud as an IaaS provider for their strength in delivering
hosting solutions on a proven platform with VMware and their
ability to provide a sovereign cloud solution to conform to our
customer's internal and regulatory compliance requirements. Working
with AUCloud, which is part of the VMware Sovereign Cloud
initiative, provides Hummingbird with the confidence that we are
backed by a best-in-class infrastructure solution, with a partner
that has the skills and expertise to complement our own.”
Nimble, a leading Canadian supplier of document imaging
products, services, and solutions, teamed with ThinkOn to meet the
company’s cloud sovereignty requirements. “The success of any
digital mailroom or document digitization solution relies heavily
on the accuracy, security, and accessibility of the digitized
documents,” said Daryl Stott, VP Digital Transformation, Nimble
Information Strategies Inc. “Not only does that extracted data need
to be highly accurate but the authority, control, and accessibility
of this data must reside within Canadian Federal and Provincial
boundaries to meet the data residency obligations of Nimble
Information Strategies customers. Nimble partners with ThinkOn to
align our data residency and security business needs with the
strict data sovereignty demands and expectations of our
clients.”
Geoff Smith Associates (GSA) is a leader in supplying
cloud-hosted IT solutions for Information Management, Covert
Systems, Criminal Justice, and Case Management. “Working
extensively with the UK public sector requires GSA to operate
within certain guidelines for cloud security and data privacy,”
said Geoff Smith, Managing Director, Geoff Smith Associates. “GSA’s
ability to deliver our SaaS offering on UKCloud’s sovereign cloud
technology has helped transform information management for some of
the many UK Policing customers. With GSA’s CycFreedom fully hosted
cloud solution on UKCloud, we serve customers with agile,
efficient, and cost-saving solutions for more secure and compliant
management of their data.”
New Developer-Ready Cloud Services Powered by VMware
Tanzu
With VMware, cloud providers can extend beyond basic
infrastructure and platform as a service and offer managed app
modernization services for cloud-native workloads. Cloud providers
can offer fully managed developer-ready clouds on the customer’s
premises; hosted private clouds in partner data centers; or as a
managed service on leading hyperscaler clouds. VMware is now
offering VMware Tanzu Application Platform and VMware Tanzu Data
Services portfolio for cloud provider partners to expand their
developer-ready cloud services.
Tanzu Application Platform provides a rich set of developer
tooling and a fast and simple path to production for developers to
build and deploy software quickly and more securely on any
compliant public cloud or on-premises Kubernetes clusters.
Developers can start quickly with preconfigured templates, gain
access to best-in-class tools in the application development
pipeline, and create and maintain a more secure, sustainable, and
reusable pathway for modern applications throughout their
lifecycle. Importantly, customers can establish a clear separation
between developers and operations for seamless app handoffs from
development to production.
Tanzu Data Services is a portfolio of on-demand caching,
messaging, and database software for development teams to use while
building modern cloud-native applications. With Tanzu Data
Services, which include Greenplum, SQL, Gemfire, and RabbitMQ,
developers gain on-demand self-service access to these critical
data services. Automated provisioning supports rapid development,
testing, and continuous delivery practices for a consistent
developer experience within Sovereign Clouds. Customers can bring
legacy data into the cloud native model and more reliably run data
services at web scale.
Data Protection and Security Offerings from Ecosystem
Partners
VMware’s large technology ecosystem helps ensure that sovereign
cloud providers have a wealth of solutions to augment their
offerings. Through VMware Cloud Director, VMware Cloud providers
can easily leverage ecosystem partners to deliver integrated
services, creating a robust platform to meet many Sovereign Cloud
principles. VMware is working within this connected ecosystem to
provide new capabilities in the following areas:
- Integrated Self-Service Sovereign Object
Storage: Sovereign clouds require local Object Storage
capabilities to meet the needs of data residency, a key pillar in
sovereign clouds. Cloudian provides an integrated Object storage
service that meets growing data volumes of national data and
innovation in application development.
- Ransomware protection, backup, and
recovery: Data protection is another critical aspect of
Sovereign cloud as all applications and workloads can be targets
for cybercrime. Ransomware protection from Veeam and Cloudian uses
immutable storage and instant workload recovery to help protect
sovereign environments and critical national data from being
changed or encrypted.
- Key management services: Sovereign
cloud environments require the highest levels of protection, with a
core requirement for encryption and key management. Fortanix
delivers an integrated data security platform that provides VMware
Cloud providers’ customers more control over their
security-sensitive workloads and simplifies partner key services
with encryption, tokenization, and secrets management.
Additionally, Fortanix provides VMware Sovereign Cloud customers
full control and ownership of the keys within the VMware Sovereign
cloud boundary. Fortanix DSM complements this with FIPS 140-2 level
3 certified hardware security modules and key management with
regional level isolation and enables full compliance with specific
data privacy/transfer regulations including Shrems II and
GDPR.
