Vmware’s Project Monterey Program

As organizations modernize existing apps and deploy new ones, traditional IT architectures are being stretched to meet their unique requirements.

Next-generation apps spanning 5G transformation, cloud native, data-centric, machine learning, multi-cloud and hybrid apps distributed across environments have produced new challenges for IT organizations; including consuming an ever increasing amount of cycles on the server CPU—impacting performance.

To tackle these issues, organizations have adopted specialized systems with hardware accelerators such as graphics processing units (GPUs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and network interface cards (NICs) with offloading to support the performance and security needs of new apps.

These accelerators have improved performance but led to siloed teams, specialized skills, increased total cost of ownership and introduced new levels of complexity and security requirements. VMware is unveiling Project Monterey to help organizations address the increasingly complex application landscape.

Project Monterey is a technology preview focused on evolving its architecture for the data center, cloud and edge to address the changing requirements of next-generation applications including AI, machine learning and 5G applications.

The aim of this project is to help customers address the shifting requirements of next-gen apps by re-imagining the architecture of the data center, cloud and edge, and to offer customers the freedom to run these apps in the best environment.
