The benefits of VCF 9?

A complete cloud experience for IT and developers

VCF 9 ensures a seamless experience for both IT teams and developers:

  • IT management: simplify infrastructure management, scale quickly, and reduce operational overhead.
  • Developers: access a user-friendly self-service environment to deploy VMs, containers, and databases.
Security and compliance out-of-the-box

Security and compliance are built into VCF 9:

  • Automated hardening of infrastructure and applications.
  • Lateral security via NSX – each VM has its own firewall.
  • Advanced threat protection – IDS/IPS and web application firewall capabilities.

  • Integrated ransomware protection, with VMware Live Cyber Recovery.

Easy and scalable deployment

VCF 9 minimizes the complexity of deploying and managing a private cloud:

  • Deployment in just a few hours instead of days.
  • Automated network and storage configuration when expanding clusters.
  • Two-way synchronization with vCenter, so existing admins can continue using familiar tools.

How to get started with VCF 9?

Getting started with VCF 9 is a straightforward process that ensures a seamless transition to an optimized private cloud environment. The first step is to ensure that your infrastructure meets the prerequisites for VCF 9. This includes validating hardware compatibility, network configurations, and storage readiness to support the deployment.

Once your environment is prepared, the next phase involves deploying VCF 9 using its automated deployment model. This process takes only a few hours, significantly reducing the time and effort required compared to traditional manual setups. With just a few clicks, VCF deploys all essential components, including vCenter, NSX, and vSAN, ensuring a fully integrated cloud infrastructure from the start.

After the initial deployment, you can easily scale and expand your infrastructure as needed. Whether you require additional clusters for AI workloads or need to extend your cloud capacity, VCF 9 simplifies the expansion process. Using VCF Operations, new resources can be provisioned quickly without the complexities of manual network and storage configurations, allowing your organization to remain agile and responsive to growing business demands.
