It was Avantra’s predecessor Syslink Xandria 7.2, released back in November 2018, which provided native cloud integration for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Right after this release providing our first step in automation for IaaS, specifically around start-/stop, we heard customers say: “But we have a huge VMware on-premise landscape, don’t forget us.” Needless to say that we certainly know that VMware products have made their way to the cloud since quite some time.
We’ve just released Avantra 21.11.6 and as Product Manager for Avantra, I get the opportunity to showcase some of the awesome new features we’ve managed to fit in this release. For Avantra 21.11.6, we’re continuing to focus on our Automation engine as well as squashing a few bugs and a couple of non-automation related features too.
Integrations to third party ITOM/ITSM solutions have been used by all Avantra customers since the beginning back in 2003.

This is where activities of different departments are coordinated.
