Team with VMware to
Journey to the Cloud
IT revolutions have been costly and
painful—until now. Until VMware.
The VMware transformation journey
can help your organization transition
to cloud computing in three phases—
moving from IT production to business
production before advancing to the
final stage, IT as a Service.
In the IT production phase, VMware
helps you focus on cost efficiency by
moving from underutilized physical
infrastructure to efficient, shared
pools of virtualized infrastructure,
critical for cloud computing.
During the next phase—business
production—we help you improve
quality of service by increasing control
and ensuring policy-based levels of
security, compliance, fault tolerance
and availability in an automated way.
In the final phase—IT as a Service—
VMware helps you achieve the
benefits of cloud computing, including
greater business agility, while further
reducing capital and operating costs.
Virtualization is essential for
enabling the journey to cloud
computing. VMware provides cloud
infrastructure to both businesses
and service providers that enables
secure interoperability between
private and public clouds. With our
solutions, you can begin to reduce
IT complexity and enable IT as a
Service without throwing away
working infrastructure.
With VMware, you get an
evolutionary approach to the
cloud computing revolution.
