Intelligent Automation with VMware

By: Ajit Pratap Kundan

Overview of this book

This book presents an introductory perspective on how machine learning plays an important role in a VMware environment. It offers a basic understanding of how to leverage machine learning primitives, along with a deeper look into integration with the VMware tools used for automation today. This book begins by highlighting how VMware addresses business issues related to its workforce, customers, and partners with emerging technologies such as machine learning to create new, intelligence-driven, end user experiences. You will learn how to apply machine learning techniques incorporated in VMware solutions for data center operations. You will go through management toolsets with a focus on machine learning techniques. At the end of the book, you will learn how the new vSphere Scale-Out edition can be used to ensure that HPC, big data performance, and other requirements can be met (either through development or by fine-tuning guidelines) with mainstream products.

Summary


The IoT space opens many new doors to places where federation solutions can offer unique value. IoT comes in many forms, such as smart thermostat, a wearable medical device that monitors a patient’s vital metrics, or a smart vending machine that remembers favorite drinks. The IoT is where the cyber world meets the physical world. Any IoT solution requires some combination of connectivity, mobile communication, management, infrastructure, and security with an application's life cycle.

Customers need an infrastructure on which they can build an IoT solution; then they need to provision and manage millions of things on that infrastructure. Those things spit out massive data, so customers also need to collect, store, and analyze data, gain meaningful insights from it, and then translate those insights into worthwhile actions. We do this by providing the IoT essentials, which enable us to achieve three top-line business outcomes. 

Following are the three business objectives :
