VMware announced its vCloud Hybrid Service

VMware recently announced its vCloud Hybrid Service, which provides a platform to seamlessly extend your data center into the cloud while still delivering reliability, security, and compatibility.

VMware vCloud Hybrid Service delivers a public cloud that is completely interoperable with existing VMware virtualized infrastructure.

This means that you can migrate your service or application from your owner infrastructure in to the cloud directly.  

The vCloud Hybrid Service (vCHS or a slang version being “vChess”) offering is fully production ready and offers two different consumption models: Dedicated Cloud and Virtual Private Cloud.

 

• The Dedicated Cloud offers a nice chunk of compute and storage in an isolated environment for a customer that has a use case that requires it.
• The Virtual Private Cloud, on the other hand, is a multitenant environment with burstable compute.

Both plans offer similar production support but the dedicated model requires a subscription investment of 12 months or more.

 

What are the key benefits to vCloud Hybrid Service?

1. You get the same level of security, reliability and performance from vCloud Hybrid Service that you get from your current VMware infrastructure.
2. vCloud Hybrid Service supports the thousands of applications and dozens of operating systems that are certified to run on vSphere.
3. vCloud Hybrid Service is built on a seamless virtualized network that is quickly customizable to support your application and security needs.
4. VMware delivers the security, reliability and performance you need from a hybrid cloud platform.
