Today, we are happy to announce that vRealize Cloud Management products are tested and certified for the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (OCVS)! Specifically, customers that are looking to expand to the next-generation Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) can now leverage their favorite suite of products to maintain consistent operations and cloud consumption experience with vRealize Automation Cloud, vRealize Log Insight Cloud, vRealize Network Insight Cloud and vRealize Operations Cloud.

The Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is a customer-managed, VMware Cloud Verified environment consisting of vSphere, vSAN, NSX-T, and vCenter Server. It is available in 34 OCI commercial regions with plans to have at least 44 by end of 2022. It is easily deployed using an existing Virtual Cloud Network (VCN). Virtual machines residing in the SDDC can then integrate into native cloud services, such as Oracle Exadata, and Database Cloud Services. Along with full control over the Oracle Cloud account, the customer retains full administrative/root access, and this means end-to-end control, with the ability to implement zero trust security protocols and policies.

vRealize Cloud Management bring the flexibility and innovation of the Oracle Cloud together with the proven VMware tools to minimize rework, retooling and retraining when moving or creating new VMware workloads on Oracle Cloud. vRealize further elevates Oracle Cloud VMware Solution by establishing a unified Cloud Operating Model across VMware environments and beyond.
