VMWare to Acquire Cloud Automation Provider DynamicOps

- Alert) – through its acquisition of Terremark – Savvis and others, none of those have amounted to much, at least not in comparison to certain market leaders, according to a Network Computing article.

But the acquisition of DymanicOps gives the Silicon Valley-based company entry into the cloud automation, orchestration and policy management space.

“As IT organizations evolve from builders to brokers of services many seek to provide access to diverse cloud resources in a controlled, managed fashion,” Ramin Sayar, vice president and general manager, Virtualization and Cloud Management at VMware, said in a company statement. “DynamicOps’ multi-cloud and multi-platform capabilities help to strengthen VMware’s position as the infrastructure and management vendor of choice for cloud computing.”

VMware’s customers will benefit from a standardized architecture and build solutions that make it easy for them to choose the model that best works for their needs, including heterogeneous environments/management. VMWare officials said customers that have standardized their private and public clouds on VMware vSphere can continue to use VMware vCloud Director to enable the aggregation and management of virtual and cloud resources.

For customers that require managing and provisioning resources extending beyond VMware-only environments, DynamicOps makes available the capabilities of vCloud Director by allowing customers to consume multi-cloud resources (e.g., physical environments, Hyper-V- and Xen-based hypervisors, and Amazon EC2).

DynamicOps’ policy-based service governor capabilities automate and control how applications and users are provisioned across physical and heterogeneous cloud infrastructure resources.

“VMware and DynamicOps share a common vision for dramatically simplifying the management and provisioning of IT resources in the Cloud era,” said Rich Krueger, CEO at DynamicOps. “I’m excited about DynamicOps joining VMware, and expect our customers to benefit from increased investment and support in the solutions they rely on to optimize their delivery of IT-as-a-service.”
