Why is app delivery so slow when you have Kubernetes, containers, and micro services galore? The tech was never the problem, regardless of its complexity. It’s the wait once the ticket’s raised. Your IT department is the bottleneck.

It’s not their fault – developers and staff are saddled with so many systems/services that requests pile into a queue. Overload ensues. There’s more to it as well. Security and privacy issues, silos, and inadequate monitoring, to name a few.

You can modernise the apps and leave the operating model untouched and end up as slow as before. It’s a gap VMware Cloud Foundation closes for you.

Take out the wait

VCF Automation hands provisioning to developers. Your platform team sets the guardrails once, and infrastructure gets consumed like a service behind them.

Developers building the apps stop waiting for the people running the estate. 72% of organisations need to ship at least 25% faster than they did three years ago.

Self-service turns a days-long wait into minutes and takes the manual provisioning off your platform team at the same time.

Old apps and new apps, talking

Modernise your apps so that they no longer work with the legacy systems still running the business. You’ve only gone and swapped one bottleneck for another.

VCF runs consistent infrastructure across your traditional three-tier estate, private cloud and public cloud. New and old integrate without refactoring or re-architecting a thing.

The point is that cloud-native apps rarely stand alone, so they have to plug into the older systems already doing the work.

Seeing what’s running

VCF Operations monitors your Kubernetes clusters from one place, cluster health, resource use, and the state of each component as it runs.

It watches the GPUs directly: compute, memory, temperature and power, per host, on dashboards with alerts.

So, your GPU running hot or a model starving another workload of memory shows up as a warning, not as an outage you trace back afterwards.

Security that keeps pace with the apps

Building AI and ML apps raises concerns about sensitive data and compliance.

VCF builds the controls in: micro segmentation, encryption, role-based access, data governance, auditing and threat detection.

For AI, VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA keeps sensitive data under control. You meet the privacy rules without slowing the build down.
