VMware Aria was announced during this year’s VMware Explore US General Session, and it of course also featured sessions in VMware Explore EMEA. Time to recap what it is all about:
“VMware Aria is a multi-cloud management portfolio that provides a set of end-to-end solutions for managing the cost, performance, configuration, and delivery of infrastructure and cloud-native applications across any cloud.”
The brand title “Aria” was chosen to describe a piece for voice. That piece could be an instrumental accompaniment or be solo, and is usually part of a longer work, like an opera. Sing with one Voice.
The new Aria portfolio adds new solutions such as Aria Hub, Aria Guardrails, Aria Migration, and Aria Business Insight, but also consists of the former vRealize Suite products vRealize Automation, vRealize Operations, vRealize Log Insight, and vRealize Network Insight. It also adds vRealize True Visibility Suite and CloudHealth Secure State. Further, VMware Aria complements VMware Tanzu by including Tanzu Observability by Wavefront.
In a nutshell, the Aria portfolio consists of the following:
- Aria Hub and Aria Graph
- Aria Cost
- Aria Operations
- Aria Automation
- Aria Guardrails
- Aria Migration
- Aria Business Insights
Additionally, VMware Skyline is included in the VMware Aria portfolio.
