Arvato and Broadcom integrate security for sovereign private cloud

Sovereign private cloud services are gaining traction among regulated organizations seeking cloud operations without relinquishing control over sensitive data. Arvato Systems GmbH and VMware by Broadcom Inc. have joined forces to address this need, leveraging their decade-long partnership. Arvato utilizes VMware Cloud Foundation as the foundation for its managed private cloud services, hosted in its own data centers, catering to sectors such as healthcare and government.

This policy- and role-based environment enables Arvato to offer self-managed, co-managed, and fully managed operating models. Speaking at VMware Explore, Arvato's managing director of multi-cloud and infrastructure, Hansjörg Metzger, and VMware's vice president of products, Prashant Gandhi, discussed how integrated automation and security support managed services for regulated industries.

Metzger highlighted a successful test case where Arvato moved a German government healthcare IT provider into its data center using vDefend microsegmentation, security policies, Avi Load Balancer, and HCX migration tools, achieving zero downtime and ensuring data security during the migration. Broadcom is expanding this integrated model to agentic workloads through new vDefend and Avi capabilities, emphasizing the importance of zero trust and lateral containment in securing cloud infrastructure as autonomous agents increase interactions among applications, tools, and data.
