What exciting innovations do we bring to market with this new product?
Integration with Knowledge Service Supervisor
The VMware Cloud Director extension for Knowledge Options is now seamlessly integrated as a local component within the VCF stack. Which means that VCSPs can now present managed DBaaS / DB administration providers for VM-based PostgreSQL database and a MySQL database, provisioned by Knowledge Providers Supervisor along with the TKG primarily based deployment of knowledge providers like RabbitMQ, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB & Confluent Kafka.
By configuring the Knowledge Providers Supervisor in VMware Cloud Director, Supplier Directors can seamlessly publish VM-based database policies to the intended tenants for easy access and consumption directly through the DSE UI. Users can effectively manage the lifecycle of their Knowledge Providers Supervisors for both PostgreSQL and MySQL instances via the DSE console, utilizing a range of actions: create, replace, delete, improve, and backup.
Sovereign Prepared Knowledge Providers
Companies operating in heavily regulated sectors and information providers require robust infrastructures that can function seamlessly within air-gapped environments, presenting a significant challenge. Now, Knowledge Answers’ K8s Operator can be deployed in environments without outbound access to the web.
Enhanced Controls
The revamped discharge offers advanced management options, enabling Value-Creating Service Providers (VCSPs) to expand the capabilities of their knowledge partners by leveraging the collective experience of seasoned tenants. Suppliers’ administrators can now access the tenant’s DSE portal and execute tenant-specific administrative tasks, effectively addressing skill shortages among tenants by empowering them to leverage the capabilities of knowledge providers.
Improved UI
With enhanced consumer expertise, we provide improved entry management capabilities, empowering knowledge occasion proprietors and customers with ‘Full Management’ permissions to seamlessly manage the entry management of cases they oversee. By streamlining the process, this solution enables IT teams to swiftly resolve instances, reducing the need for lengthy ticketing procedures and granting the event groups complete autonomy.
