1. Flat or declining IT budgets
2. Securely add capacity on demand

5. Speed deployment of new products and services
On-demand access to IT resources for new application development as well as for running existing applications.
VMware vCloud Hybrid Service is a secure, dedicated infrastructure-as-a-service hybrid
cloud owned and hosted by VMware, built on the trusted foundation of VMware vSphere.
The service supports existing applications and new application development, giving you a common platform for seamlessly extending your existing data center to the cloud while leveraging the same tools and processes you use today.
Early cloud adopters have found success in moving development and testing to the cloud. It’s an easy, fast, and cost-effective way to get on-demand capacity for a limited time period. But other workloads may also be good candidates for hybrid cloud computing.
Depending on your specific requirements, consider evaluating the following types of workloads to move to hybrid cloud:
Use Case #1: Packaged Applications
With flat or declining budgets, IT departments are facing a rising challenge of quickly adding
capacity on-demand to meet business-critical requirements or free up existing resources for higher value projects.
An effective way to meet this challenge is to migrate standard packaged applications, such as email and collaboration software, to a hybrid cloud. But in many cases existing applications must be rewritten and reconfigured for a public cloud platform.
vCloud Hybrid Service supports the thousands of applications and dozens of operating systems certified to run on vSphere, so you can run your existing applications in the cloud with no changes required. This addresses a major shortcoming of many other cloud providers’ offerings: the requirement to re-architect
packaged applications and configurations to run on that cloud provider’s specific platform. With vCloud Hybrid Service, you don’t have to rewrite or re-architect existing applications and you get the same level of security, availability, and performance that you already get from your onsite VMware infrastructure.
Use Case #2: Web/E-Commerce
Web and e-commerce applications, such as online retail stores, are often 3-tier applications requiring public-facing web assets outside the firewall and businesscritical assets onsite. When delivered as software-as-aservice, these types of applications can potentially cause security risks to enterprise information and customer data if proper compliance and controls aren’t implemented. They also typically require dynamic and unpredictable resource requirements, which can be difficult to plan for when hosting in your data center.
vCloud Hybrid Service delivers a secure, cost-effective, and easily scalable platform for deployment of web and e-commerce applications. vCloud Hybrid Service is built on a seamless virtualized network that’s quickly customizable to support your application and security needs. You can stretch your Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks seamlessly from your data center to vCloud Hybrid Service without the need for manual
configuration changes. Network virtualization enables you to configure your firewalls and network as if they were in your own data center, so you can replicate the network your applications need to operate. You can also leverage your existing IT policies to meet all security, compliance, and control requirements.
