Broadcom Inc. unveiled VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9, the future of VCF that will accelerate customers’ transition from siloed IT architectures to a unified and integrated private cloud platform.
VMware Cloud Foundation 9 will radically simplify the deployment, consumption, and operations of a secure and cost-effective private cloud, according to the vendor.
“To break the infrastructure silos, reclaim control of public cloud sprawl, and capture the opportunity for AI in the enterprise, our customers are shifting from best-of-breed siloed architectures to a modern private cloud platform,” said Krish Prasad, senior vice president and general manager, VCF Division at Broadcom. “VMware Cloud Foundation 9 will redefine the landscape for private cloud by delivering a modern, integrated platform that will unify operations and automation to deliver a cloud experience that enables businesses to be more innovative, efficient, resilient and secure.”
To help customers modernize their infrastructure, VMware Cloud Foundation 9 will deliver capabilities that enable their infrastructure to operate as a single unified and automated system, helping customers keep pace with modern app requirements, and bring the advanced VMware capabilities they already have from Broadcom into their private cloud platform.
VMware Cloud Foundation 9 will expose easy-to-consume infrastructure services that enable developers and application owners to deploy any application (VM or containerized) without friction.
VMware Cloud Foundation 9 will enable fleet-level operations and centralized security and compliance management to deliver uninterrupted operations and more proactive risk mitigation.
Additionally, Broadcom is also introducing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Advanced Services, a robust catalog of ready-to-deploy solutions, enabling customers to accelerate innovation in their private cloud environments.
This diverse library of private cloud solutions are similar to what enterprises have come to expect in the public cloud, allowing them to access the tools and technologies they need to rapidly address a variety of use cases and business opportunities, according to the vendor.
Whether customers use VCF Advanced Services on their own or with the help of a certified VMware Partner, each solution is fully vetted by Broadcom, with prescriptive architectural guidance to help speed deployment and time to value.
VMware Cloud Foundation is the industry’s first private cloud platform to deliver public cloud scale and agility with private cloud security, resilience and performance, and low overall total cost of ownership. VCF supports customers’ digital innovation with faster infrastructure modernization, a unified cloud experience, and better cyber resiliency and platform security and low total cost of ownership.
