Migrate packaged applications and free up onsite IT resources

Implement a flexible, affordable disaster recovery plan

Modernize enterprise applications to leverage cloud-based technology

Deliver new experiences with cloud and mobile-based applications

Developing and testing new apps consumes both

time and resources. vCloud Air helps accelerate

the dev/test lifecycle without sacrificing standards,

control or investing in additional infrastructure.

Accelerate Development

and Testing

Stand Up Infrastructure

On DemandReplicate onsite environments and reduce

capital expenditures by minimizing the need

to procure additional data center capacity or

invest in data center build outs.

In today’s IT departments, resources are in short

supply. Moving standard packaged applications

to the cloud helps to eliminate specialized

resources.

Extend Existing

Applications

Focus On Innovationfree up onsite IT resources for

more business-critical projects.

The complexity and expense of traditional DR

solutions are leaving many companies vulnerable

to downtime or loss of data forcing them to make

tradeoffs, and operate with only a limited DR plan

in place — or none at all.

Implement a Disaster

Recovery Plan

Augment or Implement DRwith vCloud Air Disaster Recovery, a

recovery-as-a-service, for simple and

secure asynchronous replication and

failover for vSphere environments.

Expand Enterprise

Applications to the Cloud

It can be quite challenging to modernize enterprise

applications that were not built to cloud-based

standards or handle new levels of demand when

it exceeds the capacity of on-premises infrastructure.

vCloud Air Enables

Elastic Capacity to run existing enterprise apps and tiers or

create new apps that seamlessly integrate

with on-premises applications, processes or

data. Choose to keep sensitive data onsite

and move other application tiers to the cloud.

Design Next

Generation Applications

Companies need to deliver high-quality, next generation

Web and mobile apps to remain competitive. To meet

demand and handle unpredictable spikes in traffic, IT

needs the elasticity to scale and support these data-

intensive apps.

With vCloud Air, develop new cloud-native and mobile

applications that leverage data or

processes running on-premises. Freely

move workloads on or offsite at any time,

to best meet demand, performance and

cost requirements.

For companies that are running VMware to support

their on-premises infrastructure, the opportunity

has never been easier for:

improving developer productivity

creating new cloud native and mobile applications

reducing the cost of managing enterprise applications
