VMware Validated Solutions (VVS) are technical validated implementations built and tested by VMware and VMware Partners. These solutions are designed to help customers solve common business problems using VMware Cloud Foundation as the foundational infrastructure.

VMware Validated Solutions are designed to help customers build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure for their applications and workloads deployed on VMware Cloud Foundation. Each VMware Validated Solution comes with detailed design, with design decisions, implementation guidance consisting of manual UI-based step-by-step procedures, and, where applicable, automated steps using infrastructure-as-code. Individual VMware Validated Solutions might be supplemented with code samples and how-tos, customer success stories, and links to other published assets to provide a one-stop experience for our customers.

The benefits of VMware Validated Solutions are as follows:

• Validated—VMware Validated Solutions are designed by VMware architects to help customers build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure.
• Scalable—Customers can easily scale infrastructure and applications running on VMware Cloud Foundation with technically validated, repeatable, and automated solutions.
• Secure—Security-centric designs offer prescriptive guidance and enhance post-deployment hardening of VMware Cloud Foundation infrastructure.
• Lower costs--Infrastructure as code accelerates deployments through automated workflows that reduce manual labor and rework.
• Faster time to value—VMware Validated Solutions help customers rapidly implement solutions on top of VMware Cloud Foundation.

Types of solutions currently available include:

• Developer Ready Infrastructure for VMware Cloud Foundation
• Site Protection and Disaster Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation
• Advanced Load Balancing for VMware Cloud Foundation
• Private Cloud Automation for VMware Cloud Foundation
• Cloud-Based Automation for VMware Cloud Foundation

The qualification of VVS with VMware Cloud Foundation on VxRail was introduced with VMware Cloud Foundation 4.4.1 on VxRail 7.0.371; the VVS solutions qualified with VMware Cloud Foundation on VxRail are marked with a “VxRail” tag.
