BREAKAWAY FROM THE PACK
HOW TO WIN THERACE TO INNOVATIONWITH THE HYBRID CLOUD
Enterprises are racing to build software-defined
data centers (SDDCs) to shorten application
time-to-market and decrease risks and cost. But
often, legacy infrastructure can be rigid and
inflexible and becomes a bottleneck to
innovation.
What is the best approach to take when
adopting a SDDC?
FINISH
Technology analysts Taneja Group judged the two main competitors
through an in-depth comparative study* of the do-it-yourself (DIY)
approach on legacy hardware vs. VMware Cloud Foundation on
x86 standard hardware. The outcome? Enormous savings in costs and
labor hours in every stage for VMware Cloud Foundation.
