Well before the pandemic began, companies were starting to look to the Cloud, often adopting a hybrid approach. Now they want to accelerate the transition of their services to the public Cloud, plan their current datacentre’s extension or use the Cloud as a disaster recovery approach. In any case, they are seeking to leverage savings, flexibility and the new possibilities available through the hybrid Cloud.

What is your enterprise Cloud strategy? What services could help you meet your objectives?

• VMware Cloud solutions based on Azure or AWS
• Infrastructure services (IaaS)
• Cloud storage and backup services
• Disaster recovery infrastructure (DRaaS)
• Development environments (PaaS)
• Native Cloud services and applications

In all situations, operating a public Cloud requires careful planning. Many elements need to be considered to build a solid, scalable and secure enterprise foundation.

• By helping you clarify your public Cloud strategy and identify your first potential use cases.
• By putting in place a security management and governance framework tailored to your organization.
• By establishing your enterprise architecture and foundations based on your public Cloud objectives.
• By supporting you in migrating your services to Azure, AWS, etc.
• By guiding your future decisions regarding service placement on the public Cloud.
• By putting in place service quality, security control and use tracking tools.

Leverage the public Cloud and native services
