With integrated hardware, software and services from EMC Information Infrastructure (EMC II), VMware and VCE, the Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud solution offers self-service provisioning of applications and resources to policy-driven service levels. Customers of the Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud are gaining efficiencies in traditional IT functions and workflows, with some projecting more than US$50 million in IT savings over five years.
With the new Federation End-User Computing solution, customers benefit from an integrated, validated solution aimed at driving the complexity out of deploying and maintaining virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
Previews of enhancements to the Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud demonstrated at VMworld 2015 include:
New features from VMware NSX 6.2, VMware Integrated OpenStack (VIO), VMware vRealize Operations 6.1 and VMware vSphere 6 solutions; including enhanced network and security services, increased scalability and ability to perform non-disruptive live migration of workloads.
The ability to add, update and modify data protection and security services such as Continuous Availability, Disaster Recovery, Backup, and Encryption from the self-service portal.
New deployment options with the VCE VxRack System, including a new hyperconverged infrastructure designed to help accelerate hybrid cloud deployment and reduce infrastructure cost for tier 2 workloads
Support for XtremIO™ all flash arrays – customers will also have the option to consolidate mixed workloads with new support for the EMC® XtremIO all flash array.
Application lifecycle automation, so that the business can deliver new services as soon as code is ready on VMware vSphere and VMware Integrated OpenStack products as well as OpenStack environments.
The EMC Federation is also announcing the first in a series of new Federation End-User Computing solutions. The initial solution will include all the integrated hardware and software needed for secure, anytime, anywhere access to virtual desktops, applications and end-user data all with EMC and VMware Professional Installation Services and single-call support. Customers will have a choice of deployment options including the ability to integrate into their existing infrastructure or leverage Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud.
The storage infrastructure will be optimised for virtual desktop images to reside on EMC XtremIO and end-user data to reside on EMC VNX and EMC Isilon storage. The solution will include VMware Horizon, along with a self-service catalog, IT automation and user experience monitoring enabling IT agility and driving higher levels of user satisfaction. The Federation End-User Computing solution will be shipping under directed availability from the Federation.
The Federation End-User Computing solution supports the following business outcomes:
Self-ordering and fulfillment – Automation and self-service portal for end-users and departments with VMware vRealize Suite, Operations Center and Orchestrator
IT can quickly deliver applications and updates while users can safely customise when installing their own applications with VMware App Volumes, VMware ThinApp and VMware Horizon
Real-time end user experience monitoring with integrated analytics and anomaly detection from VMware vRealize
The EMC Business Partner Program enables hundreds of partners globally to sell the Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud solution. Federation Ready is a credential that identifies a strategic group of partners who can sell, consult, implement and deploy the solution.
Upon achieving a Federation Ready credential, qualified EMC and VCE Gold and Platinum business partners and VMware Premier and Enterprise Partners will be able to offer consulting, assessment tools and implementation services for the Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud in addition to their ability to position, market, and sell the solution. All other EMC, VMware and VCE Business Partners are able to position, market and sell Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud, but EMC and VCE Global Services and VMware Professional Services will be required to implement the solution. Availability of the Federation End-User Computing solution for EMC Business Partners is expected to begin in Q4 of 2015.
Said EMC's Jeremy Burton, President, Products and Marketing: "Customers can save as much as 24% of their IT operating expense by moving to a hybrid cloud infrastructure. The Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud is unique in the market – it combines best-of-breed technology from EMC and VMware, over 40,000 hours of solution engineering and a predefined set of services to get customers up and running in as little as 28 days.”
Carl Eschenbach, President and Chief Operating Officer, VMware said: “The EMC Federation is empowering customers to have confident experiences with software-defined technologies that not only offer choice and flexibility, but also helps them react quickly to optimise growth. The Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud solution and the Federation End-User Computing solution are two strong illustrations of tightly integrated solutions that can empower organisations to transform their business.”
