The key component of the unified hybrid cloud platform is VMware’s public cloud, vCloud Air, which allows the cloud and data center to remain connected. This streamlines the process with all resources accessed and shared across the hybrid cloud.
According to VMware, its unified hybrid cloud platform enables customers to create one consistent environment based on VMware vSphere® across the private and public cloud to securely build, run and deliver any traditional or cloud-native application. VMware’s unified hybrid cloud platform is built on a software-defined data center architecture, and offers customers openness and choice in how to build and manage applications and cloud environments based on their needs.
