VMware Cloud Foundation makes it easy to deploy and run a hybrid cloud. VMware Cloud Foundation provides integrated cloud infrastructure (compute, storage, networking, and security) and cloud management services to run enterprise applications in both private and public environments. Features:

• Integrated Stack
• Standardized Architecture
• Automated Lifecycle Management
• Enterprise-Class Infrastructure
• High Performance & Scalable Hyperconverged Storage
• End-to-End Security
• Flexible Deployment Options
• Production Ready Kubernetes

Benefits: Natively integrated software-defined stack Cloud Foundation provides a complete set of software-defined services for compute, storage, networking and security, and cloud management to run enterprise apps - traditional or containerized - in private or public environments. Cloud Foundation simplifies the path to the hybrid cloud by delivering a single integrated solution that is easy to operate with built-in automated lifecycle management. Enterprise-grade functionality Cloud Foundation is based on VMware’s market-leading technologies: vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and vRealize Suite, delivering enterprise-ready services for both traditional and containerized apps. Storage elasticity and high performance Cloud Foundation is built on VMware’s leading hyperconverged architecture (vSAN) with all-flash performance and enterprise-class storage services including deduplication, compression and erasure coding. vSAN implements hyperconverged storage architecture delivers elastic storage and drastically simplifies storage management. End-to-end security Cloud Foundation delivers end-to-end security for all applications by delivering micro-segmentation, distributed firewalls, VPN (NSX), VM, hypervisor, vMotion encryption, and AI-powered workload security and visibility (vSphere). In addition, Cloud Foundation includes data at rest, cluster, and storage encryption (vSAN). Self-Driving Operations Cloud Foundation delivers self-driving operations (vRealize Operations, vRealize Log Insight) from applications to infrastructure to help organizations plan, manage and scale their SDDC. Users can perform application-aware monitoring and troubleshooting along with automated and proactive workload management, balancing and remediation. Automated Infrastructure Provisioning VMware Cloud Foundation automatically deploys all of the building blocks of the Software-Defined Data Center – compute, storage, networking and cloud management – as ready-to-run workload domain. Integrated Lifecycle Management Cloud Foundation simplifies and automates patching and upgrading of the full private cloud stack with workload domain-level lifecycle management.
