VMware Ranked No. 1 in Cloud Systems and Service Management by Global Analyst Firm
October 07 2019 - 8:00AM
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise
software, today announced that leading analyst firm IDC has ranked
VMware the No. 1 vendor in both worldwide cloud system and service
management software(1) and IT automation and configuration
management software(2) based on IDC calculations of 2018 calendar
year revenues. VMware’s continued investment in the cloud
management business, via both acquisitions and organic development,
allows the company to realize its vision to help customers to
quickly build and deploy applications in any cloud with more secure
and consistent operations.
“Our consistently top rankings in these IDC reports are
testaments to the company’s commitment to helping customers
successfully automate and operate their hybrid cloud and
multi-cloud environments,” said Ajay Singh, senior vice president
and general manager, Cloud Management Business Unit, VMware. “By
focusing on meeting our customers’ cloud management and automation
needs, we’ve continued to outperform our competitors in both cloud
systems and service management and IT automation management
software categories.”
Achieving the No. 1 Spot in Cloud System and Service
ManagementAccording to the IDC report, “Worldwide Cloud
System and Service Management Software Market Shares, 2018:
Multicloud Strategies Take the Lead,” VMware led in worldwide cloud
system and service management software revenue--more than six
percentage points ahead of the No. 2 ranked vendor.
The report highlighted a number of contributing factors to
VMware’s continued leadership in the space including the company’s
acquisition of multi-cloud cost management and governance SaaS
player CloudHealth, expanded partnerships with hyperscale public
cloud providers (such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and with Dell
EMC hardware and services teams. It also noted the growing cloud
management SaaS portfolio, such as VMware vRealize Automation Cloud
(formerly known as VMware Cloud Automation Services). The report
adds: “VMware's rapidly growing cloud management SaaS portfolio, as
well as continued adoption of the vRealize Suite and the SDDC
Manager included with VMware Cloud Foundation, positioned the
company as a major cloud system and service management vendor in
2018.”
The Leader in IT Automation and Configuration
ManagementThe IDC report, “Worldwide IT Automation and
Configuration Management Software Market Shares, 2018: Year of
Market Expansion,” ranked VMware No. 1 for the second consecutive
year, with IDC calculated revenue more than twice that of the
nearest vendor.
In the report, IDC notes that as the industry shifts towards
automated IT management solutions that help orchestrate more
complex workloads, VMware is strategically positioned to grow its
core management suites to meet customer demands. The report adds:
“VMware continues to take a strategic focus on its management
portfolio, spreading R&D investments across core management
suites (vRealize Suite and vCloud Suite) that can enable a lower
TCO for its franchise products across datacenter, desktop,
networking, security, telecom, and storage products.”
