What Cloud Foundation DeliversUnified SDDC Platform for the Hybrid Cloud

Private Cloud Public Cloud

Overview

• Unifies vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and SDDC

Manager into a single integrated platform with

automated lifecycle management

• Available on prem or as-a-service

Benefits

• Makes building a private cloud easy and fast

• Makes hybrid cloud real

• Freedom to run any app, anywhere

• Better TCO
