Brave New IT: A Model for Fearless Innovation

How will your business continue to compete? How will your organization evolve to innovate faster, fully engage customers, and empower employees—all while managing risk and protecting brand value? Driving initiatives that help accomplish these objectives is a tall order for IT teams constrained by legacy environments and struggling to harness new technologies.

Brave New IT

VMware software and services enable a brave new model of IT that is:

Instant — Instant provisioning, delivery, and access from data center to device

Fluid — Unified private and public clouds to dynamically deploy any

application or workload

Secure — Enhanced security native to apps, infrastructure, and devices

“Slow, rigid IT models built for the client-server world must change. VMware is uniquely capable

of bringing a brave new model of IT that is fluid, instant, and secure. We do this with our One Cloud,

Any Application, Any Device architecture.”

– Pat Gelsinger, VMware CEO

The Software-Defined Data Center

The ideal technology architecture to create, deliver, and manage applications, the Software-Defined

Data Center abstracts all hardware into software, pooling underlying hardware resources, and auto-

mating the allocation, configuration, and management of resources based on defined policies.

The Software-Defined Data Center can be leveraged as a private, hybrid, or public cloud. VMware

vSphere® is the foundation of the Software-Defined Data Center.

How VMware Enables Businesses to Realize Brave New IT

We empower organizations through a software-defined architecture encompassing two key elements:

Unified Hybrid Cloud and Business Mobility.

Business Mobility

Business mobility is the core of innovation

for businesses today, giving organizations the

power to compete more aggressively, increase

the effectiveness of employees, and connect

with customers in ways that were previously

impossible. You can tap the power of mobile-

cloud architecture to help your lines of business

meet customer expectations while ensuring

secure continuous access to applications across

desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

VMware’s business mobility solutions span

application and desktop virtualization, mobile

management, and content and collaboration.

Unified Hybrid Cloud

VMware’s unified hybrid cloud delivers

a consistently managed environment across

private, managed, and public clouds, for all

applications, with a choice of management

frameworks. Built on the foundation of the

Software-Defined Data Center and industry-

leading vSphere, only VMware unifies your

private, public, and managed clouds into

a unified hybrid cloud.

8

Unified Hybrid Cloud: Innovate Like a Start-Up, Deliver Like an Enterprise

Organizations that invest in unified hybrid cloud can focus more on innovation. Our Software-Defined Data Center provides a platform that unites on-premises and public clouds with open management capa-bilities that enable the development, automatic deployment, and secure consumption of any application.

With unified hybrid cloud, your organization can harness mobile and cloud technologies while taking advantage of existing tools, processes, and skill sets.

Drive Better Business Results

VMware unified hybrid cloud capabilities and solutions support the creation of new IT-as-a-service

business models and the delivery of new applications to internal and external customers while

helping to improve security from the data center to the cloud.

Businesses of all sizes can use today’s cloud offerings to simply improve business or to radically

transform it. We enable IT teams to easily manage the Software-Defined Data Center and their clouds

securely from one platform. They can move workloads between clouds with no modification and with

the same security, no matter where they reside or from where they are accessed.

“We needed a flexible platform that was open, and could integrate with the tools that our business and our developers use in their day to day lives.”

– Tim Melvin, Director of Global Infrastructure, Columbia Sportswear

Any Application, Anywhere

VMware solutions for implementing unified hybrid cloud enable organizations to quickly and

securely develop and deploy all traditional and modern enterprise applications on- or off-premises.

vSphere: The Foundation of Unified Hybrid Cloud

Enterprises trust vSphere to dramatically reduce hardware dependence through the creation of

virtual machines (VMs) that use compute resources from any number of servers. Nearly 100 percent

of Fortune Global 100 companies and 99 percent of Fortune 500 companies trust VMware for server

virtualization. vSphere 6 was announced in February 2015 and brings more than 350 new features to

market. vSphere is the technology underlying VMware hybrid cloud and business mobility solutions.

vSphere empowers users to virtualize scale-up and scale-out applications with confidence,

redefines availability, and simplifies the virtual data center.

Move live workloads without disruption across more boundaries and over longer distances

with enhanced VMware® vSphere vMotion™ capabilities

Minimize unplanned downtime with multiprocessor fault tolerance for larger VMs,

now up to 4 vCPUs

Virtualize large in-memory databases with increased scale and configuration

maximums that satisfy the requirements of resource-intensive applications

Virtualize social and big data applications with improved scale-out abilities

Deliver enhanced 2D and 3D graphics for virtual desktop environments

VMware on VMware: Results Beyond Expectations

We consistently use our award-winning virtualization and cloud management solutions to meet our own business challenges.

VMware IT Automates Application Provisioning in Private Cloud

In response to demands from business application developers, the VMware application operations

team (AppOps) deployed a private cloud, based on a Software-Defined Data Center architecture,

to automate provisioning throughout the software development life cycle.

2 5

The private cloud solution delivered the following significant benefits:

Reduced application environment provisioning time from an average of 4 weeks to

36 hours; on target to achieve the goal of 24 hours

Increased productivity of 600 developers by as much as 20 percent

Improved capacity and service quality so that AppOps can now consistently say “yes”

to all project requests

Saved the business USD $6M per year in infrastructure and operating costs

Improved quality of instances because blueprint-based provisioning ensures identical outputs

VMware IT Improves Application and Network Security Through VMware NSX

The VMware IT Operations group implemented network microsegmentation, enabling the

deployment of security controls inside the data center and improving insight into network

traffic while improving security at a fraction of the cost of hardware-based approaches. IT

also implemented VMware NSX Distributed Firewall to eliminate the traditional “chokepoints.”

Moved control closer to the application with no compromise in security, performance

or features, unlike traditional networks

Dramatically improved provisioning speed, operational efficiency, and service quality
