Only VMware gives customers the choices they need to move ahead with cloud computing. VMware's pragmatic approach to cloud computing provides customers with the ability to choose the model that is best suited to the requirements of their business – whether it is a private cloud, a public cloud, or a hybrid cloud model. With VMware vCloud, customers have the choice and flexibility to turn their existing datacenters into secure private clouds, move to compatible public clouds, or employ a hybrid approach.
Competitors' solutions are missing key cloud requirements that enable customers to deploy complete clouds that combine pooled virtual infrastructure, security, management and provisioning that span private and public resources. Only VMware delivers the complete stack of cloud infrastructure components that provides:
- The most pragmatic approach to cloud computing
- Greater choice and compatibility for public clouds
Get Greater Choice & Compatibility for Public Clouds
The same set of intelligent cloud infrastructure solutions used to build private clouds are also used with VMware-based public clouds, providing customers with the same UI and management capabilities they are accustomed to in their private cloud environments.
VMware is actively working with over 4,000 service provider partners to build VMware-based public clouds providing customers with the maximum choice for both providers as well as services – whether it be entry-level cloud services with vCloud Express or an enterprise-class hybrid cloud environments with vCloud Datacenter Services.
vCloud Connector provides the ability to monitor and perform operations on workloads running in both private and public clouds from a single interface.
In addition, VMware is actively working with its eco-system partners and standards bodies to promote open cloud standards that integrate third party tools and systems with VMware infrastructure through the vCloud API to standardize programmatic access to cloud resources.
