Modern Private Cloud on Your Terms
VMware Cloud Foundation delivers a unified private cloud platform combining the scale and agility of public cloud with the security, performance, and cost control of on-premises infrastructure. Run VMs, containers, and AI workloads on a single integrated platform with 564% ROI in three years and automated full-stack lifecycle management.
Enterprise IT Challenges
Infrastructure Fragmentation
Siloed systems across compute, storage, and networking create operational complexity, increase costs, and slow innovation.
Cloud Cost Overruns
Unpredictable public cloud bills with egress fees, per-feature charges, and hidden add-ons lead to long-term cost escalation.
Application Modernization
Organizations struggle to support traditional VMs alongside modern containers and AI workloads with separate tooling and platforms.
Operational Overhead
Manual patching, updates, and configuration across disconnected systems consume valuable IT resources and introduce errors.
Data Sovereignty & Compliance
Regulatory requirements for GDPR, HIPAA, and sovereign data residency are difficult to maintain in public cloud environments.
Developer Bottlenecks
Slow provisioning cycles and manual ticket-based processes delay application deployment and frustrate development teams.
Security Vulnerabilities
Fragmented security controls across infrastructure layers increase attack surface and make threat detection more difficult.
AI Infrastructure Demands
Traditional infrastructure lacks the performance, GPU support, and operational flexibility required for modern AI and machine learning workloads.
Quantified Business Value
