VMware vCloud® Hybrid Service™
"A customer doesn't just initiate a workload under the VMware hypervisor in the cloud; he initiates one, when desired, that's identical to the one running in his data center. The network characteristics are the same. The policies on the firewall and
other security measures are the same."
Principles of Architecture
• Trusted by 500,000 customers, 99% of Fortune Global 1000
• Delivering a complete approach to ITaaS
• 3rd in Forbes “Most Innovative Companies”

Runs the largest number of guest operating systems: Generations of Windows and Linux distributions Both 32-bit and 64-bit editions Enterprise offering or free distribution
vCloud Hybrid Service is based on VMware vSphere - the most broadly deployed and trusted virtualization platform in the world
vSphere: Designed to Support BCA and Next Gen Workloads
• Successful public cloud = mastering networking & security in the cloud• Key to hybrid clouds: connecting environments• Getting these both right was difficult, time consuming, and expensive
Principle #4: Extend Your Network
• Modern silos are still silos• Silos increase cost and complexity• Silos limit automation
Principle #5: Extend Your IT Control
• No one time commitment to sizing• Incremental add-ons• License mobility
Principle #6: Dynamic Resources
• Strong Customer Service is very popular• On premises and on vCHS treated the same
Principle #7: One VMware
“Onboarding and support is light years ahead of the
competition”
