VMware Cloud Foundation

VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) is VMware’s integrated cloud platform that brings together vSphere, vSAN, NSX and Automation/Operations into a single, software-defined solution. It delivers a consistent, enterprise-grade cloud experience across your own data centers and public cloud environments.

With VCF you standardize on a modern, automated infrastructure stack while keeping full control over performance, security and data locality.

Key capabilities

• Unified infrastructure stack: Compute, storage, networking and security are fully software-defined and integrated, reducing complexity and silos.
• Automated lifecycle management: Built-in tooling for deployment, patching and upgrades of the full stack, lowering operational risk and effort.
• Secure, segmented networking: NSX-based microsegmentation and advanced networking services to protect applications and simplify network operations.
• Cloud-ready platform: Optimized for both traditional VMware workloads and modern, container-based applications running on Kubernetes.
• Consistent operations across clouds: A single operating model whether you run on-premises, at a service provider or in hyperscale clouds.

Typical outcomes

• Faster provisioning of infrastructure and platforms for new projects
• Reduced operational effort through standardized automation
• Higher security and compliance through policy-based controls
• A future-proof foundation for private, hybrid and sovereign cloud strategies
