Why can't I just switch to the cloud immediately?
Transitioning to the cloud isn't as simple as flipping a switch due to the complexity of your existing on-premises environment. Many resources depend on each other, and moving one without considering the others can lead to performance issues. For example, if applications are moved to the cloud but their data remains on-premises, it can result in slow performance due to increased latency. A phased approach is recommended to ensure that applications and desktops are placed close to the data they need.
What are the main benefits of using the cloud now?
The cloud provides significant benefits for desktop virtualization, particularly in terms of business continuity. The ability to quickly scale resources is crucial, especially as many organizations have had to support a remote workforce. For instance, VMware helped a customer deploy 35,000 desktops in just five days, showcasing the cloud's capacity to meet urgent demands without the lengthy setup times associated with on-premises infrastructure.
How does VMware support hybrid and multi-cloud strategies?
VMware offers a flexible hybrid and multi-cloud platform that allows organizations to strategically place workloads based on their specific needs. The Horizon Control Plane enables management of both on-premises and cloud environments from a single interface, making it easier to deploy virtual desktops and applications where they make the most sense. This approach allows businesses to leverage existing investments while gradually transitioning to cloud resources.
