The revamped Tanzu application platform explored [Video]

As the new wave of cloud and artificial intelligence takes hold, digital products are evolving to become more complex and expansive. In response, the application platforms powering those products are experiencing similar growth.

One of those is VMware Tanzu, which has been fortified to accelerate enterprise app delivery.

“Tanzu was almost synonymous with Kubernetes in the past,” said Purnima Padmanabhan (pictured, left), vice president and general manager of the Tanzu Division at Broadcom Inc. “Tanzu has evolved [into] an application platform. It is an application platform that sits on top of any IaaS and allows customers to accelerate their application delivery. The nice thing about the Tanzu platform is it’s paired with tons of data. No application lives on an island, and that is the true portfolio. Now this platform may run on Cloud Foundry VMs and Kubernetes on public cloud or private cloud.”
