Public cloud has completely changed how IT organizations think about the economics of delivering IT services. In the public cloud model—you only expect to pay for the services you consume, you don’t over-provision infrastructure and you stop using (and paying) for something when you no longer need it. Your on-premise infrastructure should be consumable in the same way and provide your organization with that same flexibility. We can help you adopt a common cloud economics model for almost everything you use to deliver IT services.

Most organizations will continue to deliver certain IT services “on-premise” because of performance, security or other constraints that rule out public cloud or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) options. Whether on-premise means your own data center or a co-location facility, the infrastructure platforming those services should enable some of the same benefits that make cloud so attractive, it should be flexible, standards-based, scalable and orchestratable. Hyper-converged and composable infrastructure from HPE Technologies, running VMware’s Cloud Foundation platform, provides those capabilities, and their innovative consumption-model solutions allow for cloud economics in your own data center.
