Dell and VMware announce Dell Technologies Cloud
Dell Technologies Cloud is a new set of cloud infrastructure solutions designed by Dell, for easier deployment and management of hybrid cloud solutions. With the acquisition of EMC, Dell also got control of VMware. With the power of Dell, EMC and VMware, Dell has finally created cloud solutions that removed complexity by offering consistent infrastructure and operations for IT.
Dell Technologies Cloud is not exactly a competition for AWS and Azure. Dell Technologies Cloud can go hand in hand with major cloud offerings from Amazon and Microsoft. DTC can be consumed as platform or as a fully managed DCaaS (Datacenter as a service). Dell has made is easy to move on-premises VMs and containers to VMware Cloud on AWS without need of expensive re-platforming.
Dell Technologies Cloud platforms are built using tight integration between VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and a variety of Dell EMC infrastructure – hyperconverged (VxRail) and converged infrastructure, as well as Dell Technologies validated storage, compute, and networking platforms. VMware Cloud Foundation on VxRail delivers full stack integration, where both the physical infrastructure and VMware cloud software stack are managed as one complete on-premises hybrid cloud experience.
VMware Cloud on Dell EMC delivers cloud-like simplicity to your data centers and unparalleled consistency between your public cloud and on-premises environments. This new construct empowers your entire organization to focus on business innovation and differentiation. For instance:
- IT Operations can offload maintenance and refocus on value-added services;
- IT Architects can utilize VMware’s hybrid cloud control plane to simplify workload management;
- IT Security can uniformly apply security policies, eliminating the need to track and secure workloads that span multiple environments;
- Developers can accelerate application development by building for just one environment; and
- IT decision makers can negotiate one contract with one vendor for all core and edge data center needs.
