Q

What are the IT initiatives for modern data Centers and integrate public clouds

A

Software defined private cloud, hybrid cloud, agility by automation and next GEN applications

22
Q

What is a software defined private cloud

A

A software defined private cloud
helps customers design a modern infrastructure that extends the power in efficiency of compute virtualization across the data center to storage and networking, with common management across the stack, for better performance and reduce costs.

23
Q

What is hybrid cloud

A

Hybrid cloud builds a cloud strategy on common platform that ensures operational consistency and is ready for any future business need or IT use case.

24
Q

What is agility by automation

A

Agility by automation helps customers automate IT processes for the configuration and provisioning of complete application stacks, including network and security services, to enable them to speed the development and delivery of applications for faster time to market.

25
What is next GEN applications
Next GEN application helps customers prepare their infrastructure for developing and deploying new cloud native applications that often leverage container technologies and micro services based architectures and change frequently and release cycles are measured in minutes or hours not days or weeks or months
26
What is secure app infrastructure
Secure app infrastructure is the evolution of the infrastructure and proliferation of distributed applications and services requires a new approach to how security is designing deployed to be effective, security must be distributed by default aligned applications were integration and automation need to be inherent part of the security fabric
27
What is embrace cloud networking imple
Embrace cloud networking is a new agile innovative approach to solve the hyper distribution of the applications and data as customers move from the data center out to the edge
28
What is unify the branch/edge mean
Unify the branch/edge helps customers achieve visibility control, assure application performance, and integrate security from data center to branch to the cloud. Customers can leverage VMware SD-Wan to improve real time app performance over standard Internet connections simplify policy management with cloud-based configurations provide optimize and secure software as a service or infrastructure as a service access and support zero touch deployment to bring up branches in days not months
29
What are the IT initiatives for transforming networking in security
Secure app infrastructure, embrace cloud networking, unified branch/edge
30
What are the IT initiatives to empower the digital workspace
Secure access management, unify and point management and simplified windows delivery
31
What is secure access management
Secure access management refuse the friction of access of the employees can get their work done in real time from any device or location without compromising security
32
What is unified endpoint management
Unified endpoint management leverages a single platform to manage all application devices regardless of ownership models
33
What is simplified windows delivery
Simplified windows delivery, delivers free windows applications and desktops to any location to any device while keeping applications and data secure in the data center or cloud
34
What is VMware‘s vision
Any device, any application, and any cloud

45
What is a virtual machine
A virtual machines are the use of software to simulate the existence of hardware create a virtual computer system that can run more than one virtual system in multiple operating systems and applications on a single server to reduce cost through server consolidation increase workload availability and performance and minimize or eliminate downtime
46
What is a virtual network
Reproduce the physical network and software, embedded in the hypervisor layer and abstracted from the underlying physical hardware enable IT to reduce provisioning time from days to seconds and improve operational efficiency enable a secure hybrid cloud architecture with policies attached to each workload to insure the meet security criteria
47
What is virtual storage
Virtual storage allows you to put a gather server attach flash devices and or hardest to provide a highly resilient share data store suitable for a variety of workloads to improve storage utilization, easily scale without disruption, and drastically lower total cost of ownership
48
What is hyper converged infrastructure
Embrace a hyper converged data center strategy that includes virtual machines virtual networks and virtual storage HCI strategy extensive virtualization across the entire infrastructure compute storage and networking
49
What does automation and management mean
Automation and management allows you to expand the business agility through affective IT automation and management to eliminate time-consuming manual processes This enables more consistent delivery and management of IT resources
50
