Embrace Cloud Computing

Watch this three-part series where Thomas Bittman, VP Distinguished Analyst from Gartner, discusses the strategic benefits, the role of IT and the technology changes necessary for implementing cloud computing.

As an IT executive, you need to maximize the value and benefit of IT to give your company a competitive advantage. Cloud computing addresses that mandate by enabling a more agile and responsive delivery model for IT, bringing your organization a step closer to offering IT as a service (ITaaS). Indeed, 85% of enterprises recognize new revenue for their business – typically growing revenue by 20+% - as they evolve and implement an ITaaS model*.

Start the Journey to your Cloud

Building a cloud environment is not a simple, one-time event. VMware’s customer-proven experience shows that enterprises typically evolve their cloud from an IT environment focused on increased IT productivity, to one that provides productivity for the entire business, and finally, to one that enables dynamic, on-demand ITaaS across the organization. And with each step in this VMware Journey, the business benefits and ROI increase significantly. Recent studies indicate that as customers move through their journey to the cloud, early Capital Expenditure (CapEx) savings are complemented by Operational Expenditure (OpEx) savings and increased IT agility. As IT organizations progress with more virtualization, automation, provisioning and on-demand services, they are able to deliver more value back to the business in the form of new revenue and improved operations. * This is the value of building and evolving a software-defined data center.

Whether your organization is building a private cloud for your business-critical, tier-1 applications, or utilizing a public cloud service, or implementing a hybrid model combining the benefits of both, you can now create a secure, responsive and extensible cloud environment to successfully meet the increasing needs of your business. Moreover, VMware is the technology leader that can assist your business in doing so.
