Virtualization addresses IT’s most pressing challenge: the infrastructure sprawl that compels IT departments to channel 70 percent of their budget into maintenance, leaving scant resources for business-building innovation. The difficulty stems from the architecture of today’s x86 computers: they’re designed to run just one operating system (OS) and application at a time. As a result, even small data centers must deploy many servers, each operating at just 5–15 percent of capacity—highly inefficient by any standard.

Companies are choosing to deploy apps and consume services on the clouds that best suit their business objectives. This model, known as multi-cloud, uses two or more public clouds, two or more private clouds, or a combination of public, private and edge clouds to distribute applications and services. Multi-cloud strategies offer several advantages, from increased resiliency and agility to data sovereignty. A key benefit is that organizations can leverage a specific cloud provider’s bespoke capabilities and services to further transform their application stacks.

Information Technology (IT) needs are evolving rapidly as datacenters transform into service centers that deliver applications on demand and respond to changing customer requirements with speed and agility. With users demanding access to applications and services 24x7, service-level agreements have become stringent. In addition, cloud computing is gaining in popularity and taking a foothold in datacenters, reflecting user needs to get services at any time.

In the same way that server virtualization programmatically creates and manages virtual machines, NSXT Data Center network virtualization programmatically creates and managed software-based virtual networks. With network virtualization, the functional equivalent of a network hypervisor reproduces the complete set of Layer 2 through Layer 7 networking services (for example, switching, routing, access control, firewalling, QoS) in software. As a result, these services can be programmatically assembled in any arbitrary combination, to produce unique, isolated virtual networks in a matter of seconds.

Horizon Cloud Service on Microsoft Azure is a software service from VMware that enables the delivery and management of virtual desktops and applications on Azure. Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure allows you to bring your own existing Azure infrastructure capacity and pair it with the Horizon Cloud Service. Built from the ground up as a cloud-native, multi-tenant solution, Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure combines the benefit of consuming desktop and application virtualization as an always up-to-date, software-as-a-service from VMware with the consumption-based infrastructure pricing and extensive global footprint of Azure.
