VMware by Broadcom

VMware is a leading provider of multi-cloud services for all applications, enabling digital innovation. A trusted and proven foundation for accelerating innovation, VMware's software portfolio gives users the flexibility and freedom they need to successfully shape the future.

VMware is a technology partner within ctrlX World to drive IT/OT convergence. The goal is to run control and IPC solutions on a reduced, central server estate through virtualization and scaling. At the same time, the performance should remain the same.

By separating and abstracting hardware and software applications, dependencies on specific hardware components are greatly reduced. Furthermore, operational as well as administrative efficiencies are created and a new level of flexibility in the automation toolkit ctrlX AUTOMATION and partner applications is enabled.

Virtual applications can be upgraded quickly and without downtime, and can also be tested and simulated before deployment. The extension of the solution in the areas of artificial intelligence and machine learning is also made possible on the basis of GPU processors. These can be easily integrated and thus provide the setup and data feed for AI/ML solutions. Whether real-time or non-real-time applications, as a virtual instance or container - everything runs in an integrated, scalable edge platform.
