Navigating Multicloud Benefits: Dell and VMware

Multicloud Benefits:

For good reason, VMware is urging attendees to “Map Your Multicloud Journey” during the VMware Explore conference this year. According to Flexera’s 2023 State of the Cloud survey, multicloud is still quite popular, with 87% of organisations indicating they use various clouds to fulfil their business needs. According to the same study, 72% of organisations employ hybrid clouds, combining the finest aspects of private and public clouds to provide their customers a more complete range of cloud services.

The report’s conclusions are consistent with the situation we assist customers with when they implement multicloud. The majority have chosen numerous cloud platforms as needed in a compartmentalised manner as they have organically developed over time, or what we refer to as multicloud by default. Using a methodology that frees them from the constraints of silos and gives them access to a platform that enables them to execute the appropriate workload in the appropriate cloud with consistent governance, security, and financial transparency across all cloud environments, our goal is to assist customers in achieving multicloud by design.

Numerous of our clients have made VMware infrastructure their go-to choice for the on-premises cloud platform. Enterprise and small business data centres alike rely on VMware’s infrastructure and cloud offerings, which can act as a strong basis for multicloud by design. In this field, Dell and VMware have a long history of working together on technologies like Dell VxRail and Dell APEX. This makes it possible for Dell to have in-depth knowledge of both our own solutions and those from VMware.

No matter where a customer is in their multicloud journey with VMware technology, our Consulting Services team can help. Our four consulting journeys (practises), which include Multicloud, Applications & Data, Resiliency & Security, and Modern Workforce, all engage in this. Dell provides a full range of consulting services for VMware technology inside each of these. Our services and product portfolio complement one another well, allowing us to provide customers with more comprehensive transformational results. Our consulting team focuses on client results and finding solutions to business issues rather than just assisting a customer with installing and configuring VMware software.

We provide essential services for the complete VMware Aria product suite as part of our multicloud journey, allowing us to assist customers in setting up a real multicloud architecture using technologies like Dell VxRail. These services include the vital automation and integration elements that transform a solution from a collection of data centre flashing lights into a genuine multicloud solution that produces the results the business requires. We tie everything up with the organisational and procedural adjustments required for multicloud transformation and adoption.

With services spanning VMware’s Tanzu family of technologies, our Applications & Data services enable a customer’s journey to cloud native computing. The Tanzu Application Platform, Tanzu Kubernetes Operations, and Tanzu Kubernetes Grid together create a container architecture that fosters creativity and productivity. Customers can use this to start the transformation of their apps and get the agility of real cloud-native applications.

Protecting what matters most to the business is essential to the success of any organization’s multicloud journey, which is where our services for Resiliency & Security come in. Our aim is to assist customers in protecting their VMware virtual infrastructure using the strong security features of VMware NSX. After those workloads have been secured, it only makes sense to safeguard them with site resiliency, and that is exactly what our services for VMware Site Recovery Manager accomplish.

Last but not least, all of our services in the modern workforce sector are targeted at assisting clients in embracing the future of work. This manifests as services for VMware’s Horizon suite, which offers virtual desktops and remote access, a crucial tool for teams to collaborate remotely and support hybrid workforces. Additionally, we improved that by providing a wide range of services for VMware’s Workspace ONE suite to help clients access their applications on the device of their choosing while delivering a warm and effective user experience.

The “Map Your Multicloud Journey” message from VMware and Dell’s extensive offering of consulting services for VMware technology are perfectly complementary. We assist our customers implement multicloud solutions, make their apps cloud native, safeguard and secure what matters most, and offer the greatest end-user experience possible every day. At VMware Explore this year, we hope to see you there!
