Comparing VMware Cloud toTraditional Public Cloud byTotal Cost of Ownership

Virtualization as a concept is not new; computational environment virtualization has been around since the first mainframe systems. But recently, the term “virtualization” has become ubiquitous, representing any type of process obfuscation where a process is somehow removed from its physical operating environment. Because of this ambiguity, virtualization can almost be applied to any and all parts of an IT infrastructure. For example, mobile device emulators are a form of virtualization because the hardware platform normally required to run the mobile operating system has been emulated, removing the OS binding from the hardware it was written for. But this is just one example of one type of virtualization; there are many defi nitions of the term “virtualization” fl oating around in the current lexicon, and all (or at least most) of them are correct, which can be quite confusing.

vCenter Server is the centralized platform for managing a VMware environment. It is the primary point of management for both server virtualization and vSAN and is the enabling technology for advanced capabilities such as vMotion, Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and HA. vCenter scales to enterprise levels where a single vCenter can support up to 1000 hosts (VxRail nodes) and 10,000 virtual machines. vCenter supports a logical hierarchy of datacenters, clusters, and hosts, which allow resources to be segregated by use cases or lines of business and allow resources to be moved as needed dynamically. This is all done from a single interface.

VMware Cloud Foundation provides a ubiquitous hybrid cloud platform for both traditional enterprise apps and modern apps. Based on a proven and comprehensive software-defined stack including VMware Cloud Foundation with VMware Tanzu, VMware vSAN, VMware NSX-T Data Center, and VMware vRealize Suite, VMware Cloud Foundation provides a complete set of software-defined services for compute, storage, network security, Kubernetes management, and cloud management. The result is agile, reliable, efficient cloud infrastructure that offers consistent operations across private and public clouds.

Customers that run business-critical operations on VMware environments need an infrastructure that’s always on and optimized for peak performance. Best-inclass reactive technical support is table stakes for achieving necessary operational efficiency, risk reduction and business continuity. With VMware powering the data center infrastructure, customers are asking for more than traditional break/fix. They expect fast, environment-specific remediation recommendations and proactive analytics that identify problems before they occur.

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.

Data virtualization helps organizations access data across disparate sources and deliver a unified view of the data faster, cheaper, and using fewer resources than traditional data integration approaches. In this TEI, data virtualization delivered 83% reduction in time-torevenue and 65% decrease in delivery times over extract, transform, and load (ETL) processes.
