Full Story:
EMC (NYSE: EMC) today announced general availability for
EMC® Enterprise Hybrid Cloud v4.0, as well as planned enhancements
for both Enterprise Hybrid Cloud and EMC Native Hybrid Cloud,
designed to help customers advance their journey for both
traditional and cloud-native applications. Enterprise Hybrid
Cloud v4.0 extends IT's ability to update legacy application
infrastructure to meet the demands of a digital world. A new
Native Hybrid Cloud offering built on hyper-converged VCE® VxRail™
Appliances provides a platform that delivers a simple,
fast and easy path toward the development and deployment of
cloud native applications.
Understanding the needs of organizations to transform to a more
modern, automated, self-service IT environment, EMC continues to
develop and deliver innovations into its cloud platforms that are
designed, supported and sustained as one to help customers simplify
and accelerate their digital business initiatives.
Enterprise Hybrid Cloud
For businesses primarily running business-critical applications
such as SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Exchange, Enterprise Hybrid Cloud
automates the delivery of infrastructure services to improve
predictability, reliability, and efficiency of those services while
increasing resource utilization.
New capabilities in Enterprise Hybrid Cloud v4.0 include:
- Multi-Site Support: Extends Enterprise Hybrid Cloud from
dual-site to up to four datacenter sites with up to four instances
of vCenter. This enables EMC customers with physically
distributed data centers to centrally manage their multi-site cloud
using a self-service catalog
- Enhanced Data Protection: Data protection choices
can now span multiple sites. In addition, new data protection
options enable recovery to any point-in-time from outages,
corruption or disasters for individual or groups of Virtual
Machines via the self-service catalog. And enhancements to
backup support allow modifications to backup service levels to be
performed at any time throughout the lifecycle of a workload from
the self-service catalog
- Anytime VM Encryption: The ability to add or remove
encryption for VMs via the self-service catalog at any time in the
lifecycle of a VM
Additional enhancements to Enterprise Hybrid Cloud are targeted
for later this year. These enhancements are planned to include new
workflows that automate application to infrastructure provisioning
to reduce the time and complexity of delivering new
services.
Native Hybrid Cloud
For organizations looking to differentiate their businesses
through the rapid development of cloud native applications, Native
Hybrid Cloud offers a turnkey Pivotal Cloud Foundry platform.
EMC today announced plans for a new, Native Hybrid Cloud
offering based on the VCE VxRail 200 and 200F models.
Designed to start small and quickly scale as demand for new
applications grow, the platform is planned to provide organizations
with a flexible, cost effective and optimized hybrid cloud
platform for cloud native application development and deployment
that is inclusive of IaaS, PaaS and developer & IT OPS
services. Benefits include:
- Customers can now quickly deploy a turnkey modern
application development platform into their environment while
leveraging their existing and proven investments in VMware
infrastructure and knowledge of VMware vSphere and Virtual SAN
technologies
- Delivers centralized infrastructure resource management,
provisioning and performance evaluation from the familiar vCenter
Server Console
- Delivers the benefits of EMC converged infrastructure:
increased agility, simplified operations and lower risk
General availability of Native Hybrid Cloud on VCE VxRail
Appliances 200 and 200F are planned for the end of the third
quarter of 2016.
Market Industry Analyst Quote
Dan Conde, Analyst, Enterprise
Strategy Group
"Enterprise Hybrid Cloud (EHC) allows IT organizations to
reduce the time and cost of delivering IT services for business
critical applications while Native Hybrid Cloud (NHC) offers a
turnkey, Pivotal Cloud Foundry platform for modern applications.
What makes these platforms distinctive is that they offer a
rich set of options for layered services such as disaster
recovery for EHC or choices in software platforms for
NHC, while simplifying packaging, operational management and
deployment. Thus, they may be tailored to specific needs while
providing the benefits of a converged solution."
