Take the Hybrid Cloud Quiz!

Organizations are seeking a direct path to modern apps and the hybrid cloud. Managing disparate cloud environments is challenging. Only a few organizations have achieved consistent cloud management. Still, they understand that by tightly integrating compute, storage, networking, and virtualization with hyperconverged systems, they can enjoy cloud-like agility, scalability, and simplified IT management.

Take the Hybrid Cloud Quiz to establish what kind of buyer you are, and we’ll instantly deliver the most helpful content to help you achieve your hybrid cloud and hyperconverged infrastructure goals.

1. What is your biggest challenge operating a hybrid IT environment that includes both public cloud and private data center resources?

My biggest challenge is running workloads on a common hybrid cloud infrastructure My biggest challenge is a consistent cloud management My biggest challenge is finding a faster way to deploy VMWare Cloud

2. Which of the following best describes your organization’s approach to hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI)?

We want to take HCI further with virtualization, compute, and storage all in one appliance We rely on HCI system software for automated hardware and software life-cycle management and deployment We use hyperconverged infrastructure so teams can focus on the VMs and applications that bring business value

3. How would you describe the importance of modernizing with a hyperconverged infrastructure?

It is very important It is important It is somewhat important

4. Do you consider your organization to be thriving when it comes to digital transformation?

Yes, because we leverage the hybrid cloud to enable more strategic workload placement Yes, because we have automated cloud deployment Yes, because we leverage hyperconverged technologies

5. How important is it for your organization to enable VM-centric operations?

It’s very important; we’ll have full stack integration with VMWare technologies, like VMWare Cloud Foundation It is important; we’ll have the fastest and simplest path to transform operations and modernize data center infrastructure It is important; we’ll have a simple and direct path to a true hybrid cloud infrastructure

6. What is your biggest challenge with consistent cloud management?

Going beyond a single HCI cluster to an enterprise-wide “VM as a service” model Leveraging hybrid clouds to reduce operational overhead Reducing the complexity of managing multiple cloud environments, plus the lack of a consistent infrastructure and operations layer

7. How will increasing cloud management consistency improve your business outcomes?

Cloud consistency will increase our workload mobility Cloud consistency will foster our business innovation Cloud consistency will advance our strategic projects

8. What challenges do you have with deploying hybrid clouds?

Simplified management Lifecycle management Infrastructure agility

9. What are the key benefits of deploying VMWare Cloud Foundation vs. the do-it-yourself approach?

Automating hundreds of tasks Faster deployment with fewer steps Having one fully integrated, pre-configured, and pre-tested appliance

10. What would you most appreciate in a provider of hybrid cloud solutions?

A top HCI infrastructure portfolio that provides the ideal foundation for SDDC initiatives A set of cloud infrastructure solutions designed to enable a consistent operating model across public, private, and edge locations An integrated approach to lifecycle management
