VMware has been working closely with its customers over the years as they began their cloud journey with
server virtualization before evolving towards a fully virtualized software-defined datacenter architecture. The VMware architecture for the SDDC empowers companies to run hybrid clouds and to leverage unique capabilities to deliver key outcomes that enable efficiency, agility, and security. Enterprises using VMware technology have three ways to establish an SDDC and transition at their own pace - build their own using reference architectures; use a converged infrastructure; or use a hyper-converged infrastructure for which the full SDDC is delivered already implemented on the customers hardware of choice.
In today’s mobile-cloud era, businesses know that to be relevant they must become digital businesses. And THAT requires them to become software-centric. This is a HUGE opportunity for IT. Because no one is more qualified to lead the “software-defined” journey. VMware is uniquely qualified to help businesses in their digital transformation. We have been a pioneer and leading innovator in “software-defined” for over fifteen years. We started by virtualizing servers. Then we virtualized storage and networking. Next we extended those concepts to create our integrated datacenter architecture. Today, we are applying the benefits of the SDDC to help companies make the shift to digital,” says Sundar Balasubramanian, Senior Director of General Business (Commercial Sales & Partners) - VMware.
