IT in the Cloud: Using VMware vCloud for Reliable, Flexible, Shared IT Resources

Since the 1960s, computing has evolved from a very static, mainframe-based model to a one of service delivery. Tradeoffs for this evolution have involved manageability, reliability, openness and the quality of the user experience. The notion of computing in a “cloud” stands to redefine computing as we know it, making IT infrastructure, software and services more affordable, accessible, scalable and elastic, giving organization sboth large and small an ideal IT infrastructure at a much lower cost. This paper will explore the trends and developments in cloud computing and introduce a model for hosted cloud computing services that bring the benefits of virtualization and shared computing resources to large and small enterprises.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and its Adoption

whitePaper | June 14, 2022

The complexity and cost of ensuring network security and remote access for employees and key business partners can overwhelm smaller businesses. Higher cloud adoption, a distributed workforce, mobile employees, the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks make traditional methods of ensuring secure communications across your organization overly complex and expensive. Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) reduces the surface area for attack by following zero trust tenets to provide access to applications. ZTNA from OpenVPN Cloud creates a private, secure overlay network for businesses, which connects all of their applications, private networks, workforce, and IoT devices together without needing to own and manage a multitude of complex and hard-to-scale security and data networking gear.
