This is no easy task. There are operational and geographic limitations on top of capital expenses and a litany of compliance requirements to adhere to. But organizations looking to ease their growing pains have a solid option when it comes to cloud strategy: they can partner with a service provider whose cloud services meet stringent IT and business standards. In fact, there are many certified cloud-based service partners who are guaranteed to provide best of class service and security. The hard part is tracking those potential partners down. VMware vCloud Air Network’s service providers provide exactly that. With more than 4,000 service partners in more than 100 countries, vCloud Air Network service providers offer services that meet a broad variety of compliance standards at national, international and […]

By Richard Munro, Chief Technologist vCloud Air EMEA, VMware Financial organisations are one of the most highly regulated industries today. Following the formation of the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority and various scandals that have rocked the banking world, rules such as “ringfencing” and the Dodd Frank Act have added pressure on banks to seek compliance and be more transparent about their operations. But amidst all this, a covert IT issue is brewing; one that could threaten the positive reputation that these organisations are now trying so hard to re-build. Today’s digital world is driven by a generation which has grown up with instant access to any information as and when they want it. For any business, pace is dictated by customers rather than IT departments – and that’s certainly no exception in financial institutions. In fact, out of all the sectors, it’s finance that is fast-becoming a software-led world as more and more customers turn to online and mobile banking for speed and ease of use, rather than having to wait to go into their local branch. Because banks are being led by software, the way they can differentiate themselves is through their software – that means […]
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) enables the efficiency and agilitybenefits that come from untethering network functions from proprietaryappliances and moving them to a virtualized infrastructure running overhypervisors and COTS hardware. Enterprise IT departments have beenrealizing such benefits for a number of years but the telecommunicationsenvironment brings new workloads with different requirements. The vSphere ESXi hypervisor provides a high-performance and competitiveplatform that effectively runs many Tier 1 application workloads invirtual machines. By default, ESXi has been heavily tuned for driving highI/O throughput efficiently by utilizing fewer CPU cycles and conservingpower, as required by a wide range of workloads. Telco and NFV application workloads are different from the typical Tier Ienterprise application workloads in that they tend to be any combinationof latency sensitive, jitter sensitive, high packet rate or highbandwidth. vSphere ESXi can be tuned specifically for such workloads to achieve best performancein the NFV use case. I recently published a white paper with many useful tips fortuning the ESXi hypervisor, the hardware infrastructure as well as NFVapplications to achieve good performance on ESXi. You can learn more about NFV at http://www.vmware.com/go/nfv. More Telco-related blogs can be found at http://blogs.vmware.com/telco. Source: VMware Blog
Пару недель назад мы опубликовали в нашем блоге первый пост, посвященный цифровым навыкам. Эта тема нам кажется очень интересной, поэтому в течение следующих нескольких месяцев мы будем периодически к ней возвращаться. Почему? Дело в том, что VMware строит свой бизнес, предоставляя компаниям технологии, с помощью которых они могут трансформировать свои бизнес-процессы. Однако это только часть истории. Без таланта и без культуры, которая бы позволила этому таланту проявиться, организация даже с современной и гибкой инфраструктурой не сможет раскрыть весь свой потенциал. Нам кажется, что слишком многие компании не в состоянии использовать тот цифровой талант, который так необходим в эру дигитализации бизнеса. И мы говорим не только о технических навыках, как, например, кодировании, управлении сетями и безопасностью. Критическими становятся умения, которые позволяют сотрудникам комфортно работать в цифровой среде. К сожалению, вопросу развития цифровых навыков уделяется очень мало внимания, несмотря на то, что они необходимы всем нам. Чтобы изучить этот вопрос, мы привлечем лидеров индустрии, гуру своего дела, государственных деятелей и, что наиболее важно, наших клиентов и партнеров. Таким образом мы хотим узнать, что теряет компания, если она не может должным образом использовать цифровые умения и навыки в бизнесе или заставляет своих сотрудников работать со старыми процессами и протоколами. И конечно, мы хотим […]

Are these process areas still relevant today, as IT concentrates more on delivery of Cloud Services? As we know, the Demand and Capacity Management processes are closely related, with increases or reductions in demand driving capacity plans and delivery. Service Requests in Request Fulfillment are often thought of simply as wishes for “stuff”. Linking these three process areas and connecting and leveraging of ITSM and virtualization tools at your disposal will be key to supercharging your ability to handle cloud requests. Leveraging automation will streamline provisioning of requests for both private and public cloud offerings. When your Request Fulfillment process is synergized with the Demand and Capacity processes, you will provide high value to your customers. Why? Because drastically reducing provisioning times and facilitating application and […]

In this blog, we will discuss how to organize governance and personnel within an ITaaS Provider. To provide business/mission-value and remain relevant, many IT organizations are positioning themselves as a Hybrid Cloud Broker; providing both public and private cloud services to their customers and users. To be successful, these organizations must adopt ITaaS; a model in which IT is a commodity, providing services on demand to meet business needs through a scalable and measurable pool of resources using integrated and automated processes. This is accomplished through a blend of: Cloud computing standards Service management best practices Leading cloud and virtualization technologies The following provides five steps to reorganizing IT […]
I have now been on a steady diet of hyperconverged customer conversations for the last six months.
