Unlocking Efficiency: Harness Power, Versatility of IBM Cloud for VMware

Empowering organizations to optimize IT infrastructures, VMware promotes virtualization and cloud solutions that enable efficiency, flexibility and scalability to drive agility, security and cost savings. In fact, VMware is the predominant virtualization platform for on-premises deployments of mission critical applications. However, organizations that manage their own on-premises VMware infrastructure can encounter the following obstacles:

• significant capital outlays for maintenance, licensing and operational costs;
• resource allocation;
• surmountable time managing and overseeing equipment;
• technical issues with on-premises setups that result in lengthy downtime;
• legacy on-premises setups that are not built for scale.

IT teams don’t want to spend time managing hardware. They want to innovate and add value to their organization. Partnering with an IBM Cloud provider like FNTS can ensure your VMware environment is set up for success.

Promote Business Continuity

In today’s world, it’s not just about backup and recovery.

Any failure in doing so creates the risk of losing revenue, brand confidence and customer goodwill. In essence, we are talking about overall business continuity.

Business continuity is comprised of backup and recovery, as well as high availability of mission-critical workloads at any given time. Maintaining business continuity and improved IT resiliency are more important than ever for any enterprise in the digital era. The flexibility and agility of the cloud makes it an optimal solution to mitigate risks and ensure continuous business operations. In fact, most IT decision-makers look at the cloud as a solution to improve uptime, performance and availability of applications, data and workloads.
