VMWare
Virtualisation platform for hosting virtual machines, managing hosts, networks and storage.
VMWare is a virtualisation platform that runs guest operating systems on pooled physical servers. It sits at the compute layer in datacentres and private cloud environments.
It introduces operational demands around host patching, resource contention, licensing and configuration drift. Network segmentation, backup consistency and admin access controls also need routine attention.
Virtualisation audit and monitoring
Collect and review hypervisor and VM activity, configuration changes, events and resource usage to support investigations and operational review.
Governance & Compliance
Manage & Automate
Where VMWare fits
It connects to storage, physical networks and orchestration tooling. Management interfaces are where automation, monitoring and backup tools typically integrate.
Because many critical services run on virtual machines, its configuration affects capacity planning, recovery and security controls. Treat virtualisation as a core platform when setting access and change controls.
