VMware has introduced cutting-edge innovations and forged strategic technology partnerships to expedite sovereign digital innovation and fortify global customer security.
With over 50 VMware Sovereign Cloud providers spanning 33 countries, a robust and interconnected ecosystem has emerged to support customers' sovereign cloud needs. Collaboratively, VMware and its Sovereign Cloud partners enable organizations to harness the full potential of their data while adhering to stringent data privacy regulations.
VMware's Sovereign Cloud initiative, a global ecosystem of Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), is dedicated to assisting customers in navigating the dynamic landscape of data privacy laws. These providers adhere to a framework of principles, best practices, and technical architecture to deliver cloud services aligned with data sovereignty requirements specific to each jurisdiction.
Rajeev Bhardwaj, Vice President of Product Management for Cloud Provider Platform at VMware, expressed, "VMware Sovereign Cloud empowers nations with unparalleled data security and control, revolutionizing the way governments harness the potential of the cloud."
Enhancing Security for Sovereign Cloud Workloads
In response to the unique needs of sovereign cloud customers seeking maximum control over their data, VMware Sovereign Clouds now support Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK) and Bring Your Own Key Management Systems (BYO-KMS). This feature allows customers to maintain ownership and control over their encryption keys, ensuring that their data remains confidential and inaccessible without proper authorization.
Partnering with Thales for Key Management Services (KMS), VMware expands its security offerings. BYO-KMS with Thales CipherTrust Data Security Platform on VMware Cloud Director ensures heightened security for data in sovereign cloud environments, enhancing compliance with national data sovereignty standards.
Introducing New Sovereign Data Services
The VMware Cloud Director extension for VMware Data Solutions introduces a portfolio of on-demand caching, messaging, and database software at scale for sovereign cloud customers. New services include NoSQL as a Service featuring MongoDB, Kafka as a Service for real-time analytics applications, and Greenplum as a Service for comprehensive data analytics. Additionally, Object Storage as a Service with NetApp StorageGRID ensures high-value storage services compliant within sovereign domains.
Empowering Developer-Ready Sovereign Clouds
VMware's commitment to delivering developer-ready sovereign clouds emphasizes a unified hybrid cloud infrastructure, ensuring consistent experiences across diverse cloud environments. With support for VMware Tanzu and VMware NSX, developers can deploy applications rapidly while maintaining compliance, data residency, and enhanced security.
Key additions include the general availability of VMware Tanzu Mission Control Self-Managed, enabling advanced, compliant management tools for cloud-native applications, and the introduction of Content Hub in VMware Cloud Director 10.5 for rapid deployment of compliant and secure applications.
