Many of our customers have made the decision to adopt a Hybrid IT strategy.
Previously, we have discussed the advantages of a hybrid cloud model to take advantage of using both the private and public cloud. If you have decided to adopt a hybrid cloud model you may be struggling to work with different technologies between your private and public clouds.
Development and IT departments have different needs for the public cloud and you may be wrestling with how satisfy both. Developers are looking for speed and agility. They want access to a broad set of development resources quickly, wherever and whenever they need them. IT and Operations are looking for control and efficiency. They want to use the infrastructure they have already invested in on the cloud while maintaining the same security and corporate compliance they have internally.
We think VMware’s vCloud Hybrid Service offers a perfect solution. Delivering a truly hybrid cloud with interconnected resources provides a seamless use of these resources wherever you are using them. This service makes infrastructure from the public cloud as easy to consume, manage, and control as the infrastructure you own privately. A true hybrid solution like this meets the needs of both development and IT departments.
VMware vCloud Hybrid Service is a secure, infrastructure-as-a-service cloud owned and operated by VMware and built on the trusted foundation of vSphere. IT maintains the same level of security, reliability, and performance that you get from your current VMware infrastructure.
Existing IT policies are leveraged to meet security, compliance, and control requirements as well as allocate resources exactly where you need them. Existing workloads and new application development are supported, providing IT a common platform to extend its data center to the cloud using the same tools and processes they use today. What you are not spending time doing is reinventing the perfect infrastructure you have internally on your private cloud.
Another complaint of the public cloud is the complexity and effort required to run applications with the same performance you have internally. vCloud Hybrid Service can accelerate your adoption of the public cloud. It supports the thousands of applications and dozens of operating systems that are certified to run on vSphere, so you can run your applications in the cloud without making any changes.
Your IT infrastructure can extend beyond the physical limits of your data center to the cloud, again, no changes required. Leveraging the same platform you already run internally, you can extend your management tools into the cloud, providing an integrated IT infrastructure across your data center and the cloud. Extending the same environment delivers both a faster path to cloud success and a return on investment, while still minimizing risk.
