SOLUTIONS OVERVIEW

THE ANSWER TO BIG CHALLENGES

Many organizations are looking for ways to drive more differentiation,

redefine their business models, and enable innovation in an increasingly

digital world. In order to achieve this, IT must fundamentally transform

itself and deliver IT services with greater speed and agility in order to

keep pace with this fast-paced, highly competitive digital environment. In

an IDG survey, 83% of C-level executives said that they either currently

use or plan to use a hybrid cloud as an innovation enabler to help grow

the business. However, the challenge for IT is that building and sustaining

a hybrid cloud architecture is complex, requires multi-disciplined

expertise, and can be both time consuming and risky —until now.

A TURNKEY APPROACH TO HYBRID CLOUD

Dell EMC Enterprise Hybrid Cloud dramatically simplifies the deployment

of a VMware-based hybrid cloud platform - accelerating a customer’s IT

transformation efforts while reducing risks. As a turnkey platform, it is

designed, tested, and integrated by Dell EMC and includes on-going

lifecycle management and single call support across the entire stack -

freeing IT resources from the complexity of doing it themselves.

Enterprise Hybrid Cloud accelerates IT transformation by simplifying the

delivery of IT services for traditional enterprise applications across private

and public clouds. It supports a rich feature set and broad choice of

infrastructure options for enterprises of all sizes. It provides an

Infrastructure as a Service foundation with automated, self-service

provisioning that combines the control, reliability, and confidence of

private cloud with the simplicity, flexibility, and cost efficiency of a public

cloud.

With Enterprise Hybrid Cloud on Dell EMC VxRail appliances, a Cloud

Control Point manages separate workload infrastructure which can be

added as capacity requirements evolve, providing a simplified, cost-

effective approach to scaling the platform.

In addition, when VxRails are used as workload infrastructure, the

CloudFlex program from Dell Financial Services provides a flexible

consumption model that enables users to experience the benefits of

hyper-converged infrastructure with minimal financial risk.

The Challenge

IT must change how they deliver value to the

business and adapt to demands dictating delivery

of traditional enterprise applications and IT

services with greater speed and agility.

Businesses require a mix of private- and public-

cloud services, however it can be difficult to bring

these clouds together while maintaining control

and visibility. Nonetheless the business will not

wait, and IT must deliver flexible, easy- to-use,

self-service access to IT resources or risk losing

relevancy.

The Solution

Dell EMC Enterprise Hybrid Cloud enables IT to:

Accelerate delivery of traditional enterprise

applications

Deliver always-on Infrastructure-as-a-Service

Automate the delivery of private- and public-

cloud resources

Empower IT consumers with a self-service

catalog for on-demand IT resources

Encrypt virtual machines against data theft

anywhere within the hybrid cloud

Protect virtual machines against disaster recovery

using RecoverPoint for virtual machines.

Increase visibility into infrastructure

consumption by application for increased

cost transparency

Communicate the value of IT services

through show-back

Start small and scale out rapidly as demand

for services grow

Alongside Enterprise Hybrid Cloud are a broad portfolio of services that IT organizations can leverage ranging from

setting a cloud strategy in alignment with business goals, to full design, installation, deployment, and management of

the hybrid cloud. All of this with the end goal of accelerating the time to value of the hybrid cloud platform.

TRANSFORMING IT TO DELIVER BUSINESS VALUE

Enterprise Hybrid Cloud enables IT organizations to become strategic partners of the business by providing IT services

with greater speed and agility. A self-service portal simplifies both application management and IT services delivery.

Workflows and blueprints streamline the provisioning and de-provisioning of applications and IT resources including

security policies, to accelerate the management of complex, multi-tier applications down to minutes with no need for

manual intervention.

A dashboard communicates the value of IT services consumed, helping align application workloads to the right cloud,

with the right cost, security, reliability, and performance requirements — including extending workloads and

applications to a choice of public clouds. This simplified, self-service approach to application and IT resource

management enables the business to move faster through a more responsive and agile IT model.

EXTENDING THE PLATFORM TO DELIVER IT-AS-A-SERVICE

Enterprise Hybrid Cloud enables IT organizations to simplify delivery of IT-as-a-Service with add-on modules. These

modular add-ons are prepackaged options that are maintained and supported with the platform. They are comprised of

service blueprints that provide faster and easier provisioning of IT services that include data protection such as backup

with Avamar and Data Domain, disaster recovery with RecoverPoint and Continuous Availability with VPLEX as well

as encryption services through CloudLink.

In addition, Enterprise Hybrid Cloud’s integration program simplifies the extension of capabilities beyond the platform.

Published APIs provide the integration path for 3rd party offerings including:

Puppet Enterprise for OS and application configuration lifecycle management

ServiceNOW for IT service management

Palo Alto Networks Security for network firewalls for protecting against cyberattacks, and

InfoBlox IP Address Management

This enables IT organizations to continue to leverage their existing investments in these technologies while improving

operational processes ultimately helping achieve better ROI.

ENABLING AN ALWAYS-ON, SCALABLE HYBRID CLOUD PLATFORM

Enterprise Hybrid Cloud simplifies the complexity of a scaled out, cloud architecture by managing up to four

sites/vCenters from a single, centrally managed self-service catalog. Active-active provisioning across sites in

combination with Enterprise Hybrid Cloud’s full continuum of data protection, high-availability, and disaster recovery

options enables platform scaling that offer the unique ability of maintaining workload backup and security policies

ensure workloads are always available, even in the event of a site failure.

SECURING THE CLOUD WITH CONFIDENCE

With the focus on delivering a strong security posture for today’s digital business, Enterprise Hybrid Cloud offers

several capabilities to protect mission critical data down to the workload that are defined through the self-service

catalog. Application blueprints simplify the addition of security policies that are portable and remain with their

workloads as they reside in and move between on and off-premises hosts.

Through an add-on option, encryption can be applied to individual workloads using CloudLink SecureVM providing

cloud administrators with the ability to set encryption policies based on workload type or location. Whether securing the

development life cycle or running a complex application, Enterprise Hybrid Cloud can ensure adequate separation of

application stacks and isolation of development, test and production environments. Network micro-segmentation

protects and separates the components to restrict the access and communication to the business-defined rulesets.

Policies are dynamic and follow the workload, providing true mobility between all computing locations.

INTELLIGENT MONITORING AND REPORTING

Through built-in visibility across the hybrid cloud platform, Enterprise Hybrid Cloud provides IT teams with built-in

dashboards pre-loaded with industry standards and vendor specific data to understand the status of the platform.

Automated, intelligent analytics-based monitoring of the health and performance of the platform simplifies the

identification of performance or capacity issues, enabling a faster, pro-active resolution to any potential problems.

A dashboard, including metering and show-back capabilities, communicates the value of IT services and infrastructure

consumption down to the application level, providing financial transparency IT consumers to align workloads to the

right cloud for meeting service level and cost objectives down to the virtual machine and/or application level.
