Now under development, Cross-Cloud Services consists of management tools that span a user’s VMware stacks and the three top commodity public cloud providers (Amazon, Google, and Microsoft).
“CIOs and IT professionals now need to manage a multiple-device, multiple-application and multiple-cloud world and they don’t have the tools to do that”, said VMware Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger in an interview.
The Cross-Cloud Architecture enables consistent deployment models, security policies, visibility, and governance for all applications, running on-premises and off-premises, regardless of the underlying cloud, hardware platform or hypervisor.
On Monday, the company will announce Cloud Foundation, which combines software for storage, networking and virtualization into one package, as well as the ability to use that product as a service hosted in IBM’s cloud.
Mike Yang, president of QCT said, “Our close, collaborative relationship with VMware has produced a wealth of hyper-converged infrastructure solutions that bring the power of the software-defined data center to customers of many sizes, not just the hyperscale players”. Built on VMware’s industry-leading virtualization technology, our solutions deliver a courageous new model of IT that is fluid, instant and more secure. The result is that customers can gain a 6-8x reduction in time to deploy cloud infrastructure, and save 30-40 percent on TCO.
Cloud Foundation offers unified management for existing clouds built on the VMware stack – vSphere, vSAN, and NSX – wherever they happen to be running.

Over in the cloud business, VMware and EMC backed off a plan to jointly own cloud infrastructure provider Virtustream, instead shifting the asset and its losses to EMC.
QxStack powered by VMware Cloud Foundation uses the VMware SDDC Manager, which automates lifecycle management and operations.
VMware Horizon® enables customers to quickly deliver virtualized desktops and applications through a single platform, creating a secure digital workspace.
Customers who use public clouds can easily end up with workloads operating in silos on separate clouds, and find it hard to federate them for better efficiency, Farronato said. The services include: Discovery and Analytics, Compliance and Security, and Deployment and Migration.
VMware has announced a change in its cloud strategy, cosying up to third-party public cloud providers that compete with its native vCloud Air offering.
The vCloud Air service has not emerged as a top contender in the years since VMware introduced it in 2013, initially under the name vCloud Hybrid Service.
