VMware Cloud Foundation 9

The latest version of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF 9) brings the cloud operating model to on-premises data centers. Combining the flexibility, scalability, and automation of the public cloud with the control, security, and compliance of a private cloud, VCF 9 is the ultimate solution for organizations seeking complete control over their IT infrastructure. 

What is VMware Cloud Foundation? 

VCF is VMware’s private cloud platform that delivers a unified cloud experience within a data center or with a cloud service provider. This means: 

  • Full automation of deployment and management. 
  • Integrated security and compliance at both infrastructure and application levels. 
  • A single interface for managing workloads, containers, and databases. 
  • Scalability with the ability to expand to AI and high-performance workloads easily.
