In this series, hosts Pete Flecha and John Nicholson interview various subject matter experts to break down the components that make up VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and provide insights into its powerful capabilities for private cloud environments.
In Episode 9, titled 'Data Services Manager,' we explore the transformative capabilities of VMware Data Services Manager within VMware Cloud Foundation. Joining us is Michael Gandy, Product Marketing Engineer, who provides invaluable insights into the features and benefits of this powerful tool.
VMware Data Services Manager, now an integral part of VMware Cloud Foundation, empowers IT organizations with native data services that are not only enterprise-hardened but also easily manageable at scale.
