The document discusses how customer needs are driving a shift to cloud management platforms and software-as-a-service models. It lists key customer needs like reducing deployment time, self-healing infrastructure, and managing both public and private resources from a single interface. The document then introduces VMware's vRealize Suite as a cloud management platform that can address these needs by providing integrated management of heterogeneous infrastructure across datacenters and clouds. It describes the various capabilities and delivery models of the vRealize Suite.

… and Growth of SaaS
• Reduce time to deploy
app via Self-service
• Self-healing due to high
impact to business
• Can’t afford expensive
resources integrating IT
Silos and disparate tools
• Need simple, out-of-box,
integrated management
• Need Management across
Public and Private
• Control LOB creating
‘shadow IT’ via policies
• “We are evaluating SaaS
first. Can vCAC be
SaaS?” – Publishing
• “We need monitoring and
I can’t justify the cap-ex
for buying vCOPs, but it is
easier to justify op-ex for
vCOPs as a service” –
