application or service layer from
the underlying infrastructure or
resource layer to provide a much
more scalable, efficient and elastic
model for delivering IT services. You
can dramatically reduce costs in the
infrastructure or resource layer by
aggregating the resource needs of
the entire organization and using
the shared infrastructure to drive
capacity utilization higher than ever.
At the application or service layer,
cloud computing offers a new service
consumption approach that applies
standardization and automation to
enable rapid service provisioning.
Instead of waiting for manual IT
procurement and provisioning
processes, lines of business are
able to consume services exactly
when they need them. Meanwhile,
IT retains control over policies and
billing that govern service usage.
Only VMware offers a pragmatic path
that lets you encapsulate legacy
applications and move them to a
modern cloud computing environment
with ensured security, manageability,
quality of service and compliance.
Using VMware solutions, you can
evolve to an on-demand, highly
available and highly secure cloud
computing model—with automated
service levels and standardized
access—to immediately deliver cost
efficiency and business agility.
During the process, you do not
need to "rip and replace" existing
infrastructure. With VMware, you
can leverage current investments to
transform an internal datacenter into
a private cloud environment. You can
build and deploy a private cloud today
that yields improved IT efficiency and
agility while enhancing security and
choice. At the same time, deploying a
private cloud on the VMware platform
provides a practical path to the highly
scalable, high-performance public
clouds being built by recognized
service providers leveraging the
VMware platform.
By adopting the leading platform
chosen by the largest number of
enterprises and service providers,
you have the choice to place any
of your workloads in the optimal
location (a private or public cloud)
while fully retaining the ability
to move workloads between or
across private and public cloud
infrastructure—leveraging a hybrid
private-public cloud environment.
