Why this matters: VMware workloads don't show up on a typical cloud bill the way AWS, Azure, or GCP usage does — whether it's running in your own datacenter or on a VMware-on-cloud offering, that infrastructure is easy to lose visibility into if it's not connected here. Without it, "total infrastructure cost" quietly excludes a chunk of what you're actually running, and capacity planning for that environment happens blind.
This shows up differently depending on your role:
-
Infrastructure/platform teams use this to onboard and manage the connection between their vCenter environment (on-prem or cloud) and Mavvrik.
-
FinOps managers use this to get a complete cost picture that includes VMware alongside public cloud spend, instead of a gap in the numbers.
-
Finance teams use this for accurate CapEx/OpEx reconciliation when VMware infrastructure represents owned or leased capacity rather than metered cloud usage.
VMware is supported in two deployment models, covered separately below:
