Resolution

Use cases

The VMware SDDC on Accenture SDI – NFS platform V1.0 solution provides a completely configured VMware Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) built to a standardized format and architecture. This provides a private cloud that can be quickly scaled up or down and allows existing VMware virtualized data center clients to extend or move their workloads into the Public Cloud. This enables companies to address issues such as rapid capacity expansion (and contraction when not needed), migration of workloads to the cloud, establishing cloud based backup and disaster scenarios, and the ability to set up development, test, training or lab capacity. This is accomplished by exploiting the operational benefits and agility of Public Cloud with the ability to expand or contract the environment to meet the business needs. In fact, additional servers can be added easily and quickly to meet increased capacity of over 10,000 sized virtual guest servers per region.

Solution Capabilities

The VMware SDDC on Accenture SDI– NFS platform V1.0 provides the basic building blocks for a highly scalable and automated SDDC that can be easily integrated with on-premises and public clouds based on the VMware platform. Preconfigured Cloud building blocks that include several bare metal servers and associated VMware stack provide a starting point for scalability, automation and seamless integration to hybrid cloud. This provides short time to value and cost effective implementation using best practices.

Accenture provided open patterns can then be used to rapidly deploy advanced applications into this environment.

Support Information

The VMware Ready Certified Partner Architecture program certifies partner solution architecture based on its compliance to VMware Validated Design IT Automation Cloud 1.0.

For more information on the VMware Validated Designs, see Validated Designs.

This certification agreement is between VMware and the certified partner for a specific solution architecture only. The partner solution architecture referenced in this article is developed and supported by a partner. It is the responsibility of the partner to ensure that the solution architecture is deployed on VMware supported hardware and align hardware with VMware Compatibility Guide (vCG) or custom VMware support agreement (RPQ).
