DataGravity, creator of the DataGravity Discovery Series data-aware storage platform, has announced that VMware will incorporate operational, security, and business insights from its data-aware storage platform†into VMware’s vRealize cloud management platform technology. The DataGravity Discovery Series will be available through advanced management vRealize plug-ins, providing data analytics at the storage layer for VMware-based infrastructures.
With data distributed across virtualized infrastructure in hundreds to thousands of virtual machines (VMs), states DataGravity, the task of meeting compliance regulations and policies is complex and hard to manage. In recognition of those concerns, DataGravity and VMware will consolidate and analyze system logs, alerts, and the data itself to identify and surface risks to data security and simplify data compliance checks. †
The Discovery Series storage system provides 360-degree file-level visibility of virtualized data sets and is combined with†vRealize through two plug-ins: DataGravity Management Pack for VMware vRealize Operations and DataGravity Content Pack for VMware vRealize Log Insight. †
“By combining our DataGravity Discovery Series with VMware vRealize, we’re able to expand the audience that is seeing firsthand the crucial insights that our product offers,” says David Siles, chief technology officer of DataGravity. “In an age of increased security breaches, the value of data-aware storage within the VMware ecosystem is the next step in helping midmarket customers have a better understanding of what their data is saying and where it is hiding.” †
The vRealize API will be available in early 2015 for DataGravity and vRealize users. For additional information, visit http://datagravity.com/solutions/vmware.
