Cloud ArchitectureComparison Guide:Which Approach Is Right For You?
Find out the relative costs and advantages of these different cloud infrastructure approaches.
Traditional 3-tier
A platform where compute,
storage and networking
components are
independent and
loosely integrated.
Hyperconverged Infrastructure
A software-defined
approach to infrastructure
based on general-purpose
hardware tightly-integrated
with software.
Public Cloud
Cloud services running on
a shared hardware and
software infrastructure
owned and managed by a
third-party.
VMwareCloud
A VMware-managed
Software Defined Data
Center (SDDC) delivered
as-a-service via public
cloud providers or
VMware Cloud Provider
Program partners.
Each cloudinfrastructure has its own set of advantages:
The disadvantagesof each cloud infrastructure:
How much do these cloudinfrastructures cost?1
A hybrid solution for long-term architectureTo maximize the value of your infrastructure investment, choose a seamlessly integrated hybrid cloud that lets you select the right environment for the right workload, with consistent infrastructure and consistent operations.
For a full breakdown of the results andrecommendations, read the 2019 Taneja Group report.
Easy to modify forspecific requirements
Possible to replace and modify individual tiers
Fine-tuned to unique application requirements
High upfront costs
Environment needs to be upgraded regularly
Limited integration, automation and management capabilities
Automated, simplified and rapid setup
Integrated management of servers from a single pane
Simplified IaaS deployment and operations similar to a public cloud
Difficulty catering for workloads with specific compute needs
Needs compute versus storage sizing
Avoid initial costs by shifting from CapEx to OpEx model
Added value of cloud-native services
On-demand capacitywith consumption-based economics
Significant time, effort and cost in refactoring apps for public cloud
Specific apps may needto comply with data residency requirements
No portability of apps to other infrastructure
No need for application rework or refactoring
No IT retraining required
Faster and seamless workload migration
Easy deployment
Doesn’t scale in as fine-grain incrementsas public cloud
Specific apps may need to comply with data residency requirements
