VMware
introduced a new model for IT called Cross Cloud Architecture. To fully
understand the concept of Cross cloud architecture one must analyze VMware's
vision for it's IT model.
VMware not
long ago introduced the "Brave New IT" model. Which consisted of
"One Cloud, Any Application any device." If I rephrase that, a
customer can use a cloud of his choice Private, Public and Hybrid Cloud to run
any application that he desires and to deliver it to any device of his choice.
The below
infographic explains in one picture.
The
Cross-Cloud Architecture means that it takes the same model up one a notch. In
other words it's the "Brave New It Model 2.0". VMware takes the same
vision and remodels it to "Any Cloud, Any Application Any device"
"VMware has redefined its Hybrid Cloud Strategy
with new public and private cloud capabilities that enables customers to run,
manage, connect, and secure their applications across clouds and devices in a
common operating environment."
"VMware's Cross-Cloud Architecture enables
consistent deployment models, security policies, visibility, and governance for
all applications-whether they are running on-premise or off, and regardless of
the underlying cloud or hypervisor."
What does
it mean for customer?
Cross-Cloud
architecture brings the freedom and control to customer to choose any cloud to
run their workload. It empowers enterprises to run, manage, connect and secure
their apps across clouds and devices in a common operating environment.
VMware has
taken the core components of SDDC VMware vSphere, VMware vSAN and NSX into one
unified platform and includes SDDC Manager on top of the core constructs to
automate the deployment and management of VMware Cloud Software.
It comes as
a software bundle and as a SaaS model.
