• Building the better cloud experience with hybrid cloud

    Authored by Manish Gupta, Senior Director and General Manager, Infrastructure Solutions Group, India, Dell Technologies

    A snake that sheds its skin only changes, but when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, it transforms! 

    The secret of success lies not in the change, but the transformation that paves the way for the change. For a good part of this decade, organizations have been pursuing digital transformation as a top priority. With the advancement of cutting-edge technologies such as AI, machine learning and deep learning in enabling superior customer experiences, the cloud strategy has emerged as a significant driver in enabling digital transformation and competitive advantage for businesses across the world.

    As the number of cloud solutions grow, organizations find it easier to deploy workloads across multiple cloud solutions. Using multiple public clouds is a powerful conduit for flexibility, innovation and agility. According to IDC, more than 70 percent of organizations are using multiple cloud environments1. Although the usage across multiple cloud provides flexibility, it also creates operational silos, leading to organizational complexity, which paradoxically reduces the agility (one of the eventual outcomes that enterprises are chasing through their multi-cloud environment). The largest data center challenge that most companies face is developing a successful multi-cloud strategy2. 83% of cloud adopters are seeking consistent infrastructure and operations from the data center to the cloud3. This is where the need for an effective hybrid cloud solution that provides seamless experience and simplifies IT becomes all the more pertinent. 

    Time for hybrid cloud strategy 

    The hybrid cloud approach is an ideal solution, offering a familiar management interface that extends across clouds for a simplified overall experience. As IT leaders, you need the flexibility to choose whichever cloud environment is best for your organization’s workloads and data—without the byproduct of additional complexity. To help you address this complexity, we recently unveiled Dell Technologies Cloud at the Dell Technologies World. 

    Dell Technologies Cloud portfolio consists of joint solutions from VMware and Dell EMC that remove cloud complexity by providing a consistent cloud operating model across public cloud, private cloud and edge locations. It consists of the new Dell Technologies Cloud Platforms and the new Data Center-as-a-Service offering, VMware Cloud on Dell EMC. These enable a flexible range of IT and management options with tight integration and a single vendor experience for purchasing, deployment, services and financing. 

    This hybrid cloud approach is delivered through a powerful integration of hardware, software, services and consumption options from Dell, Inc., the No.1 global revenue leader in cloud IT infrastructure4, and VMware, ranked No. 1 in revenue of cloud systems management software based on IDC's latest research5.


    Turning tides for enterprises with Dell Technologies Cloud 

    With Dell Technologies Cloud, your IT can avail hybrid cloud benefits while leveraging multi-cloud environments to enable cost efficiency, agility and scalability. The multi-cloud approach with Dell Technologies lets you: 

    Increase Agility: With Dell Technologies Cloud, your team can integrate their VMware tools while governing, automating and orchestrating applications across multiple cloud deployment options. This enhances flexibility in workload placement, by providing a single operational hub across public, private and edge clouds. 

    Accelerate Innovation: Adopt the swiftest and simplest path of deploying hybrid cloud. As, VMware Cloud Foundation is on Dell EMC VxRail, the cloud platform brings forth industry’s first unitedly engineered, hybrid cloud infrastructure that is rigidly integrated with VMware’s full stack HCI architecture and flexibility. You can also extend the on-premise cloud experience by deploying Dell Technologies validated storage, compute and networking options and Dell EMC converged infrastructure. 

    Enhance Cloud Economics: The hybrid cloud strategy with Dell Technologies solutions empowers you to manage applications across various clouds while saving cost and time and eliminating unwanted application re-platforming. According to IDC, Dell Technologies Cloud can decrease the total cost of ownership by up to 47%, as compared to native public cloud. 

    Reduce Business Risk: The hybrid cloud solution optimizes your team’s confidence in operations by delivering compliant IT services supported by built-in security and automated lifecycle management.
