EMC has announced its hybrid cloud solution, an appliance the unites the public and private clouds to enable IT as a service (ITaaS) in as little as 28 days.
EMC country manager Servaas Venter points out that, as IT organisations race to keep pace with the demands of the modern and rapidly changing business, they need to leverage both private cloud because it is trusted, controlled and reliable, and public cloud because it’s simple, low cost and flexible. The EMC Enterprise Hybrid Cloud Solution enables customers to deploy a hybrid cloud that incorporates the best of both public and private clouds.
The EMC Enterprise Hybrid Cloud Solution lets IT be a broker of trusted cloud services while maintaining the freedom to choose the Management and Orchestration technology upon which the hybrid cloud is standardized. The result is a hybrid cloud solution capable of supporting traditional and next-gen applications, financial transparency so IT can prove its value to the business, and a seamless and secure management experience.
The EMC Enterprise Hybrid Cloud Solution is designed to be simple, automated and on-demand and features a number of benefits including:
* Solution designed to be implemented in 28 days or less with EMC Professional Services
* Access to a full service catalogue of automated data services
* Integration with public cloud services built on VMware vCloud Air, Microsoft Azure, AWS and other EMC-powered cloud service providers
* EMC Enterprise Hybrid Cloud Solution can be built on VCE Vblock Systems and VSPEX for accelerated deployment
* EMC’s gold standard level of Customer Service to provide world-class support
* EMC has invested thousands of engineering hours to build an Enterprise Hybrid Cloud Solution that accelerates the customer’s time to value. Key engineering aspects include end-to-end testing and validation to ensure all components work together, best practices/reference architecture that accelerates deployment, hundreds of workflows based on common customer use cases to further enable self-service delivery and consumption and custom-engineered design templates that offer pre-determined service levels of infrastructure for different applications.
In 2015, EMC plans to offer the EMC Enterprise Hybrid Cloud Solution built with either Microsoft or OpenStack technology. EMC’s solution for the Microsoft Cloud Platform will be designed to enable customers to easily integrate their on-premises EMC storage solutions and Windows Server Hyper-V infrastructure with Microsoft Azure, in order to flexibly deploy and manage applications and workloads across hybrid environments
