PALO ALTO, CA — (Marketwired) — 12/05/14 — VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), the global leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure, today announced technology integrations with Docker, Kubernetes, the open-source container orchestration project initiated and managed by Google, Mesosphere and Pivotal Cloud Foundry to further simplify enterprise container deployment and management. The integrations offer enterprises turnkey deployment of Docker containers on , and as well as simplified deployment of leading resource scheduling and cluster management solutions for containers on their VMware infrastructure, empowering them to develop and run applications rapidly and securely across private, public and hybrid clouds.
Today, VMware also announced that it is collaborating with to provide enterprises with broader choice for the deployment and scheduling of containers, containerized applications, and related applications data center services such as Hadoop, Spark, and Cassandra. Mesosphere organizes physical servers, virtual machines, and cloud instances and lets applications draw from a single pool of intelligently- and dynamically-allocated resources, increasing efficiency and reducing operational complexity.
By enabling enterprises to quickly deploy containers, virtual machines or containers within virtual machines along with associated management solutions on a common platform, VMware helps DevOps teams to build, deploy and scale their applications with confidence. VMware today released technology integrations that enable:
One-click deployment of Docker containers from the desktop to the cloud through integration between VMware Fusion, VMware vCloud Air and VMware vSphere with Docker Machine. Learn more .
Rapid installation and deployment of Kubernetes via VMware vSphere for container cluster deployment, management and orchestration. Learn more .
Simple and fast installation and deployment of Mesosphere via VMware vSphere to run and manage data center applications and services at scale. Learn more .
Rapid deployment and management of Linux container application instances via simple virtual machine installer of the Pivotal Cloud Foundry platform on VMware vSphere.
Today–s integrations follow on the heels of VMware–s collaboration with , Google and — — to help enterprises run and manage their containerized applications on VMware infrastructure or VMware vCloud Air. By offering enterprises a common platform for running virtual machines and containers, developers gain needed agility and speed while providing IT teams with the control they require. Additionally, VMware will bring to bear its compute, management, storage, networking and security capabilities to container environments.
“Our focus is to provide enterprises with the common platform for building, operating and managing applications at scale,” said Kit Colbert, vice president and CTO, Cloud-Native Apps, VMware. “In conjunction with our broad partner ecosystem, we are empowering enterprises to minimize the integration costs, time and effort to securely run and manage containerized applications wherever they choose — whether on-premises on VMware vSphere or in the cloud on VMware vCloud Air.”
“Enterprise customers are excited about VMware–s integration with Mesosphere. The integration of Mesosphere and VMware vSphere will make it easy for them to write, deploy and manage containerized applications at scale,” said Matt Trifiro, vice president of Marketing, Mesosphere. “Containers are a great format for packaging tasks, but you need to pair them with Mesosphere–s technology if you want to run and operate them at scale.”
“Pivotal Cloud Foundry, together with VMware vSphere and VMware vCloud Air infrastructure, automates software delivery in the data center or the cloud,” said James Watters, vice president, Product, Marketing and Ecosystems for Cloud Foundry at Pivotal. “With application metrics and four layers of high availability built into the platform, Pivotal Cloud Foundry is the enterprise choice for automating Linux container deployments.”
VMware is a sponsor of DockerCon Europe 2014 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Dec. 4-5, 2014. VMware–s Kit Colbert is participating in the partner panel on Friday, December 5, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. CET. VMware–s booth (#15) features demos of VMware–s integrations with Docker containers, Kubernetes, Mesosphere and Pivotal Cloud Foundry.
