Persona: VP Infrastructure & Operations ALANA
Platform

TL;DR. The VP I&O is VMware’s longtime champion. The Tanzu portfolio enables them to lead the next
transformation in their organization and reinforce their relevance by embracing containers, microservices and
cloud native constructs as part of their existing infrastructure.

Desired outcomes: Major challenges: Tanzu value prop: Primary offers:

● Operational excellence. ● Legacy infrastructure ● Simplicity. Kubernetes as ● Tanzu Standard.

Persona: VP Applications CODY
Apps

TL;DR. The VP Applications is Pivotal’s longtime champion. The Tanzu portfolio enables them to accelerate
application modernization and get more code into production, faster. We have a powerful ‘in’ with this
audience via Spring—find the Spring, sell the TAS.

Persona: DevOps KEITH
DevOps

TL;DR. The DevOps lead is responsible for driving alignment of the (you guessed it) Dev and Ops teams. They
are responsible for introducing the processes and patterns that can move the organization closer to
continuous integration and delivery of software to production.

Desired outcomes: Major challenges: Tanzu value prop: Primary offers:

Persona: CSO / Security SANDRA
CSO

TL;DR. The CSO doesn’t want to be responsible for another Equifax. They need to ensure a rapidly growing
set of applications are compliant and secured—and that requires that security is addressed at every step in
the value stream.

Desired outcomes: Major challenges: Tanzu value prop: Primary offers:

● Security and compliance ● Dev and Ops are not ● Container security. ● Targeted Offer.
