Cloud Infrastructure solutions include infrastructure products and services that
enable customers to connect to multiple clouds and create a common operating
environment, based on VMware Cloud Foundation, extending from on-premises
data centers to the cloud and to the edge.
Key products within our Cloud Infrastructure portfolio include:
vSphere
Our flagship data center infrastructure offering, utilizes our
hypervisor software, which resides between the operating system and
system hardware, to provide the fundamental compute layer for customer
environments, enabling virtualization. We continue to build on vSphere
with VMware Tanzu solutions, which provide a simple way for vSphere
customers around the world to get started with Kubernetes and to
modernize their workloads running on vSphere. Additionally, we are
partnering to deliver an AI-Ready Enterprise platform that combines
vSphere with the NVIDIA AI Enterprise suite to enable customers to rapidly
deploy, manage and scale AI in production with confidence
vSAN and VxRail
We offer cost-effective, holistic data storage and protection
options for all applications running on vSphere. These products are
applicable to hyperconverged infrastructure as well as traditional
infrastructure solutions and enable customers to deploy on a broad range
of hardware solutions. Our vSAN offering creates simple, shared storage
designed for virtual machines. VxRail is a hyperconverged infrastructure
solution comprised of a fully integrated and pre-configured Dell EMC
appliance powered by vSAN and vSphere software.
VMware Cloud Foundation
A cloud platform that combines our vSphere,
vSAN and NSX, or network virtualization, offerings with vRealize Cloud
Management into an integrated stack that delivers developer-ready
infrastructure for public and private clouds. VMware Cloud Foundation
extends to multi-cloud through these main routes: VMware Cloud on AWS
and VMware Cloud on Dell EMC offerings; hyperscaler public cloud services,
including Azure VMware Solution, Google Cloud VMware Engine, IBM Cloud
for VMware Solutions and Oracle Cloud VMware Solution; and VMware
Cloud Verified Providers. Available from VMware and reseller partners,
VMware Cloud Universal is a flexible subscription that simplifies the
purchase and consumption of VMware multi-cloud infrastructure and
management services across the data centers, public clouds or edge.
VMware Cloud on AWS
An integrated hybrid cloud solution that extends
on-premises vSphere environments to a VMware Software-Defined Data
Center (“SDDC”) running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (“Amazon
EC2”). Jointly engineered by VMware and Amazon Web Services (“AWS”),
this on-demand service enables IT teams to seamlessly extend, migrate and
manage their cloud-based resources with familiar VMware tools,
minimizing the difficulty of learning new skills or utilizing new tools.
VMware Cloud on AWS integrates VMware’s flagship compute, storage and
network virtualization products (vSphere, vSAN and NSX), along with
vCenter Server management as well as robust disaster protection and
optimizes them to run on dedicated, elastic, Amazon EC2 bare-metal
infrastructure that is fully integrated with AWS Cloud. VMware, AWS and
the AWS partner networks sell VMware Cloud on AWS, which is available in
20 global AWS regions, while VMware and our partner community deliver
and support the service.
VMware Cloud on other major hyperscalers
Includes Azure VMware
Solution, an infrastructure-as-a-service private cloud offering built on
VMware Cloud Foundation that runs on dedicated bare-metal servers in
Azure regions. It is a service sold and supported by Microsoft, backed and
cloud verified by VMware. VMware Cloud on other major hyperscalers also
includes Google Cloud VMware Engine, an integrated first-party offering
that is built, sold and supported directly by Google Cloud and delivers a
fully managed VMware Cloud Foundation stack along with VMware HCX for
cloud migration in a dedicated environment on Google Cloud.
VMware Cloud Providers
A key component of our strategic priority to
support multi-cloud, this global ecosystem of more than 4,500 cloud
providers in over 120 countries provides VMware-based cloud services.
VMware Cloud Provider offerings are directed at traditional hosting
partners, regional cloud providers and local and global managed service
providers. VMware Cloud Providers give organizations the flexibility of
running applications in virtual machines, in containers or both on their own
private clouds inside their data center and on public clouds by providing
multi-cloud managed services. IBM was our first cloud provider partner to
offer VMware Cloud Foundation as-a service, enabling their customers to
leverage our technologies on IBM Cloud in their worldwide cloud data
centers.
VMware Cloud on Dell EMC
A fully managed on-premises, local cloud-asa-service offering providing customers with a hybrid cloud experience that
combines the simplicity and agility of the public cloud with the security and
control of on-premises infrastructure.
