VMware technology is the foundation for best-in-class private clouds deployed by more than 500,000 customers worldwide.

 

These private clouds have all the capabilities and self-service ease of use of public clouds. They are delivered on a simple, efficient and flexible hyperconverged software platform with industry-leading network virtualization, storage virtualization and management.

 

A VMware private cloud can support virtually any workload—from traditional enterprise applications to modern container-based microservices.

VMware technology gives customers the flexibility to run their private clouds on-premises or to consume them as a service through VMware Cloud Providers partners.

 

Customers can leverage a common platform of virtualized compute, storage and networking that delivers a consistent operational model across private and public clouds and can be managed using existing skillsets and processes.   

The VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture supports IT’s adoption of public or private clouds without creating cloud silos.

 

This new architecture—delivered by VMware Cloud Foundation, new Cross-Cloud services that VMware is developing, and the vRealize cloud management platform—provide a control plane for common management, policies, networking, and security across private and public clouds. The VMware vRealize Suite cloud management platform and VMware NSX are also key components of the Cross-Cloud Architecture.

 

IT organizations can discover what services exist across different clouds, and enforce security and governance while efficiently managing costs.

 

The VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture enables businesses to more seamlessly build and operate cloud-native applications by managing the provisioning and Day 2 management of cloud-native cluster frameworks. Effectively, IT can provide these frameworks as services to their app teams on the cloud of their choice, with freedom and control.
