The challenges of a modern cloud infrastructure

How are organizations able to sustain innovation while simultaneously being able to rapidly scale workloads without costly upfront data center investments? These challenges along with retaining control of data, securing it, and reducing data latency have caused many organizations to maintain or repatriate workloads back to on-premises data centers. Is there a cloud solution for customers with the speed and flexibility of public cloud but the performance, security, and control of on-premises infrastructure? Yes, introduced over two years ago, VMware Cloud on Dell EMC was designed to help customers by delivering cloud-like ease of use to their on-premises workloads and provide consistent operations between on-premises and public cloud environments.

With this solution, The IT folks remain focused on supporting business growth and new applications while VMware manages the service and provide the most up to date infrastructure technology.

Reduce Data Latency and Retain Data Sovereignty - VMware Cloud on Dell EMC deploys high performance infrastructure on-premises running on Dell EMC's VxRail and VMware's SDDC software. Being on-premises decreases application latency for end-users compared to running applications in the public cloud. Additionally, sovereignty concerns are alleviated by maintaining data on premises and supported by enhanced compliance and certifications with (GDPR, SOC1/2, ISO 27k and CCPA) ensuring your organization meets regulatory requirements.

Application Modernization - VMware Cloud on Dell EMC is built to handle the expanding number of modern applications, dynamically providing the resources these applications require. An expanding portfolio of instance types and sizes ensure that this service can support the variability of resource demands that new applications require. Additionally, extensive Kubernetes support ensure that these new applications can be managed effectively and efficiently.

If your organization is looking to gain greater control of your workloads and applications, while running on the modern cloud infrastructure, all with predictable OpEx spending and vendor management, then VMware Cloud on Dell EMC is the right fit. Please visit our website for more information.
