The new releases - vRealize Operations 6.7, vRealize Automation 7.4, vRealize Business for Cloud 7.4, vRealize Orchestrator 7.4, vRealize Log Insight 4.6 and vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 1.2 - will come together in the VMware vRealize Suite and will provide increased control of VMware’s software-defined data centre (SDDC) stack.
“VMware is focused on delivering innovation across our cloud management platform to help customers accelerate their digital transformation journey,” said Ajay Singh, Senior VP and GM, Cloud Management Business Unit, VMware. “Cloud transformation is difficult and can quickly derail without a capable, integrated and easy-to-operate CMP. Our investments in IT operations management and automation will further simplify and speed our customers’ use of the hybrid cloud to transform their businesses.”
VMware vRealize Operations 6.7 will enable customers to adopt a ‘self-driving’ approach to monitoring and managing their data centres and cloud environments. VMware vRealize Operations 6.7 will also feature enhanced monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities to better predict, prevent, and remediate problems via integrations across VMware’s SDDC stack. New features will include:
A new Capacity Analytics Engine to provide customers with real-time visibility into capacity usage and demand to predict and improve capacity utilisation.
Continuous performance optimisation of vSphere-based private clouds today, and VMware Cloud on AWS in the future, to meet application performance needs based on business intent (e.g., workload balancing to reduce software license costs by enabling license enforcement and separation or to meet performance SLAs) or operational intent (e.g., leaving headroom for business critical apps or to densify clusters).
VRealize Operations 6.7 will feature integration with Wavefront by VMware to empower IT and application owners to triage and resolve issues faster.
This new release will also be even simpler to use, featuring a persona-based ‘Quick Start’ dashboard to help customers quickly perform operational tasks. It will also include updated workflows for enterprise-wide troubleshooting with metrics and logs.
VMware vRealize Automation 7.4 aims to help customers achieve consistent operations, greater productivity and faster time to value. This latest release will feature new modern consumption and service delivery capabilities, enhanced multi-tenancy and increased product integration including:
Faster application blueprinting by offering 120-plus free, curated blueprints and Open Virtualization Format (OVF) files out-of-the-box.
A Custom Form Designer that builds rich service request forms for vRealize Automation 7.4 catalogue items.
The new release will introduce filter-based networking services visibility and filter-based infrastructure elements visibility per tenant as well as support the latest release of vRealize Orchestrator, which is now multitenant.
Last September, VMware introduced vRealize Suite 2017 which took a leap forward in simplifying daily administration and operations of the suite with new built-in, automated lifecycle management of Day 0 through Day 2 tasks. The lifecycle management capabilities help customers speed time to value by automating the deployment, configuration and upgrading of products in the suite.

The new VMware vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 1.2 will extend lifecycle management to integrated IT content management across infrastructure and cloud environments. New features include:
A new “app store”-like experience for customers to consume out-of-the-box solutions from VMware and ecosystem partners. These solutions will span vRealize Operations management packs, vRealize Log Insight content packs, and vRealize Automation blueprints and plug-ins.

New IT content lifecycle management including automated release pipeline for content capturing, testing and deployment; storing and versioning of content via integration with GitLab; and, support for multi-developer use cases.
Today’s news bookends recent VMware Cloud Services updates including the introduction of VMware Log Intelligence and enhancements to Wavefront by VMware and VMware Cost Insight. VMware is innovating across its cloud management portfolio while providing customers with choice of how to consume its offerings – as a service via a subscription model or on-premises via a license model.
“The new capacity analytics in vRealize Operations 6.7 will help us optimise capacity and provide better reporting for some of our larger customers,” said John Davis, Product Architect, Rackspace. “By identifying clusters that are running low in resources, we will be able to help manage operations more proactively, and predict and avoid storage shortages and compute issues for our customers.”
“Today, we rely on VMware vRealize Operations’ predictive analytics to anticipate and prevent performance problems as well as manage capacity for our private cloud,” said Johannes Weidacher, IT Specialist Storage & Data Center, Rohde & Schwarz, which has Asia headquarters in Singapore. “We look forward to the new capacity engine in the upcoming release as it will deliver more insights with better transparency into capacity and costs to increase efficiencies for our business.”
“Enterprise IT executives and their teams are under significant pressure to increase their execution speed,” said Stephen Elliot, Program VP at IDC. “Automated workload placement and capacity management play a critical role in helping IT operations teams concurrently optimise performance and costs, while making sure that workloads get the resources they need, based on specified intent. Pipeline management of IT artifacts can further accelerate team adoption of agile and DevOps practices that deliver rapid innovation, and an improved customer experience.”
