Introducing VMware Cloud Foundation 9

At VMware Explore 2024 in Las Vegas we are introducing VMware Cloud Foundation 9 – a significant leap forward that will streamline the transition from siloed IT environments to a unified, integrated private cloud platform. VMware Cloud Foundation 9 will make the deployment, consumption, and management of a secure and cost-effective private cloud faster and easier than ever before.

 

Simplifying Modern Infrastructure Deployment and Operations

VMware Cloud Foundation 9 (VCF 9) is being built with the goal of simplifying how businesses deploy and operate modern infrastructure. It will allow organizations to manage their entire infrastructure as a single, unified system.

This capability helps meet the demands of modern applications while integrating advanced VMware features into a private cloud platform. The core VCF platform is enhanced by a suite of advanced services, expanding its use cases, enhancing security, and supporting a comprehensive application development ecosystem.

VCF addresses the needs of two key groups: infrastructure teams responsible for building and maintaining IT environments and infrastructure consumers like platform engineers and data scientists who leverage these environments to run applications.

For infrastructure teams, VCF 9 offers a unified platform that automates and simplifies operations, allowing them to deploy private cloud environments efficiently.

But let’s take a moment to acknowledge how we’re addressing the challenge of multiple personas in different IT environments.
