Cloud Services Provider – SaaS Service Multi-Tenant Public Cloud

As companies rapidly adopt container technology to run their application for the obvious benefits it offers. With VMware Cloud Director App Launchpad (ALP), Cloud Providers can offer pre-curated secure Bitnami Applications from VMware Marketplace, custom and 3rd party applications for their tenants. This helps users, easily consume applications without having to worry about the underlying endpoint security and the associated infrastructure management, as these applications are pre-architected, tested, and validated.

VMware Cloud Director extension for VMware Data Solutions precisely caters to the developer demand by offering a developer friendly experience with VMware RabbitMQ, VMware SQL supporting MySQL & PostgreSQL for Kubernetes to implement essential messaging and database management functionality across fleets of deployments with 24*7 VMware support. 

The amount of data created, captured, copied, and consumed globally is at staggering, record-breaking levels. This has given rise to higher volumes of unstructured and noisy data. The key challenge for most businesses is finding a solution to avoid storage silos and data anarchy. The Cloud Director Object Storage Extension integrates with Cloudian, Dell and has open extensibility to any object storage vendor.  VMware Cloud Director’s integrated approach to Object Storage allows Cloud Services Providers to optimize their Cloud Storage resources and cost. It offers unlimited scale and Cloudian delivers the closest alignment to the Amazon S3 API. Cloud Services Providers can take a modern approach to manage unstructured, semi-structured and structured data. Extract the maximum value out of your customers data by leveraging S3 storage classes and expand your Storage-as-a-Service, Backup-as-a-Service, Archive-as-a-Service,  Big Data-as-a-Service portfolio.

Many commercial cloud providers are supported in Terraform and on-prem infrastructure like Cloud Director, vSphere, NSX-T and Advanced Load Balancer. The VMware Cloud Director Terraform provider is used to interact with the resources supported by VMware Cloud Director, enables administrators and DevOps engineers to define Cloud Director infrastructure as code inside Terraform configuration files. This makes it an efficient automation and integration tool. The VMware Cloud Director Terraform provider supports an extensive array of Cloud Director resources, including networking, storage, compute VM, vApp and containers via Container Service Extension. The project itself is fully open-source and available on GitHub. HashiCorp is hosting it in the “terraform-providers” namespace with all the other official Terraform providers.

VMware Chargeback service enables metering and chargeback capabilities, providing visibility into infrastructure usage through performance and capacity dashboards for the providers and tenants. VMware Chargeback service is used for metering the infrastructure services a Cloud provider offers to their tenants. It provides options to configure different models for pricing the metered infrastructure. VMware Chargeback service closes the loop by providing tenant-specific views that help tenants obtain an operations view of the infrastructure they are consuming, including metrics, charges, reports and alerts.
