VMware Cloud Foundation vs. vRealize Suite & vCloud Suite (discontinued)

It is best suited for an on-premise cloud solution where customer can shift their entire production environment. Also, the customer has a preference for a Homogenous Infrastructure Environment where budget is not a challenge. It is not at all suited for a Heterogenous Environment, e.g., a Public cloud where integration becomes a huge issue, also in SMB sections where budget is challenging.

It is most suited where there multi cloud platform as VCloud suite provides most 2 important licences i.e. Vsphere 9India's leading hypervisor) and Vrealize Suite which helps to automate and also simplies IT management by making the solution most agile, efficient and easy to use. If there is a simple environment with just few servers where there is need for only 2-3 VMs, i will not recommend this.

• The Deployment is complex.
• Recommended Number of Physical Nodes is three or more; with less than 3 Nodes, it becomes difficult to install V-SAN.
• Need for better integration. If we go on the public cloud, it is a huge challenge while integrate with an open source platform.
• Cost can be marginally reduced. SMB segments still prefer a separate license instead of VCF, or they postpone their purchase plans.

Although the public Cloud Model follows Opex Costing Model, it actually leads to very high costs also, the infra model in my organization is not suited for a Public Cloud Model. Hence We decided on an On-Premise Model, and the best suited was VMware Cloud Foundation, which is a complete Software-Defined Scale-Out Architecture. I also prefer a Homogenous environment; i.e, support and services from a Single OEM, so that I Can get faster resolutions to my tickets raised.

VCloud mostly provides cloud management platform, all others also provide the same plus some other features so, Vcloud can be little less expensive in comparison to other solutions available in market. Also, it's very easy to use and deploy and manage your cloud platform. It is widely used by mid scale as well as large scale companies.

• My organization has a size of 1300+ employees, using multiple applications and an exchange mail server that is hosted on On-Premise Cloud, hence scalability has not been a challenge.
• Having hosted my Production environment and Mail exchange Server on VCF, there has been optimum resource utilization with very little scope downtime. Hence have been able to save a lot of funds on Hardware resources.
• Due to the size of my organization and due the data load, I have been able to save on Resource Utilization and Organization Funds

• Positive only- Vrealize suite helps is IT automation by making it cost-effective and efficient.
• Less time is consumed by our IT administrators because of Automating process and they can do better monitoring
• It can be really cost effective for if any company wants to make private cloud. It did the same with us as through vCloud we get all the VMware software required.
