VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) on Dell VxRail is a Dell Technologies and VMware jointly engineered integrated solution. It contains features that simplify, streamline, and automate the operations of your entire software-defined data center (SDDC) from Day 0 through Day 2. The new platform delivers a set of software-defined services for compute (with VMware vSphere and VMware vCenter), storage (with VMware vSAN), networking (with VMware NSX), security, and cloud management (with VMware Aria Suite). These services apply to both private and public environments, making it the operational hub for your hybrid cloud.
VCF on VxRail provides the simplest path to the hybrid cloud through a fully integrated hybrid cloud platform. This platform uses native VxRail hardware and software capabilities and other unique VxRail integrations (such as vCenter plug-ins and Dell networking). These components work together to deliver a new turnkey hybrid cloud user experience with full-stack integration. Full-stack integration means you get both HCI infrastructure layer and cloud software stack in one complete automated life-cycle turnkey experience.
