"We're taking existing on-prem products, like classic products we have today — and you can still install them on-premises, and many customers want it that way — and we enable them to manage workloads across clouds," said Guido Appenzeller, VMware's chief technology strategy officer, during a press conference at VMworld. VRealize Automation and NSX are being configured so that the same network policies that apply to workloads on-premises travel with those workloads as they're migrated into public cloud space.
