With VMware’s virtualisation jamboree, VMworld, due to kick off in the USA next week, news is starting to filter out about developments associated with the company’s products.
One of the early snippets concerns VMware’s new vCloud Hybrid Service, which is set to make its first appearance in the EMEA region under the tutelage of Computacenter. This is actually happening aspart of the US Early Access Programme for the new vCHS service.
Computacenter will be taking the vCHS service to market when it launches in the UK in 2014.The company recommended the service to Biomni and is set to work with them in an advisory capacity as they participate in the otherwise US-only Early Access Programme for the new cloud environment.
The new service offers the ability to easily deploy and move applications and data between public and private clouds in a secure, seamless fashion. It enables organisations to access cloud resources using a virtualised environment they are familiar with, making it simple to understand, easy to use and with tight integration into existing systems.
vCHS can also be used to host both new and legacy applications with the ability to rapidly increase and decrease capacity for key workloads and provision consistently regardless of target environment.
Biomni provides the service catalogue for Computacenter’s C3 cloud portal, which allows users to select, customise and request cloud services, but with full visibility, control and final sign-off from the IT department. Biomni is using vCHS directly to respond faster to user needs and create bespoke services for its customers. Once the general release for vCHS is announced, the company will also include the solution as part of its service catalogue and in turn, Computacenter’s cloud solution.
The companies will examine how vCHS can allow them to spin up and move resources faster and more easily, creating interfaces between customer systems and service catalogue offerings, bringing a superior speed and level of service.
"Most businesses are using hybrid cloud today, but the public element is often provisioned by ad hoc users paying with their credit card, rather than the IT team who can take control of the cloud and maximise its benefits for the whole organisation,” says Angus Gregory, CEO, Biomni. “With the vCloud hybrid service, our IT department can truly control the cloud and make it really deliver at an enterprise level.”
