Use cases

Accenture SDI on VMware Validated Design 3.0 – NFS platform solution provides a completely configured VMware Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) built to a standardized format and architecture. This provides a private cloud which can be quickly scaled up or down and allows existing VMware virtualized data center clients to extend or move their workloads in to 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. All by exploiting the operational benefits and agility of Public Cloud with the ability to expand or contract the environment to meet the business needs. Additional servers can be added to meet the increased capacity of over 10,000 virtual guest servers per dual region.
