New VCE Converged Solution

VCE, trademark of VCE company LLC, in converged infrastructure systems, announced VCE Foundation for Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud, a new integrated solution designed to speed and simplify the deployment and management of hybrid cloud environments.

The new solution drives a greater degree of convergence by extending the standardized, repeatable practices of the VCE experience to the Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud, enabling factory integration of additional VMware, Inc. and EMC Corp.‘s technologies including VMware NSX network virtualization, VMware vRealize management and orchestration software, and EMC ViPR software-defined-storage.

Additionally, customers that wish to deploy these individual elements can do so with the same VCE experience of full factory integration and single-call support.

“The shift toward hybrid cloud computing models is requiring IT organizations to deliver new services at unprecedented rates of speed and agility,” said Todd Pavone, EVP, product strategy and development, VCE. “VCE is continuing its next phase of growth and innovation to deliver converged infrastructure solutions that further simplify and accelerate the deployment of hybrid cloud environments. With this new solution, VCE is scaling its formula of simplicity and outstanding customer experience up and down the cloud infrastructure stack through an expanded portfolio of integrated solutions, taking full advantage of key software-defined data center technologies from EMC and VMware.”

All VCE solutions run on its converged infrastructure, which provides the VCE experience as pre-integrated, pre-tested and pre-validated compute, network, storage and virtualization as a single product. This includes seamless component-level updates, ongoing lifecycle assurance and unified support across all components.

Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud combines converged infrastructure and EMC services into a complete hybrid cloud. The solution is a broker of cloud services 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, uniting the speed and agility of public cloud services with the control and security of private cloud infrastructure.

VCE converged infrastructures feature compute and network technology from Cisco, storage and data protection from EMC, and network virtualization, management and orchestration and server virtualization solutions from VMwre.

“The VCE Foundation with one-call support for VMware NSX and the vRealize cloud management platform will enable customers to realize greater agility, value and security through powerful network virtualization and management platforms,” said Raghu Raghuram, EVP and GM, software-defined data center division, VMware.

VCE Foundation for Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud will be orderable in Q1 2015 through VCE and its network of solution provider partners.
