How Do You Ensure Your On-Prem Workloads Thrive in Multi-Cloud Environments?

Two decades into the inception of the modern-day cloud, where are we now?

The cloud has continued to evolve exponentially, and its evolution shows no signs of slowing down.

Enterprises are embarking on a new era of operational possibilities, driven by the shift to multi-cloud environments and subscription-based models. With Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) at the forefront, organisations are unlocking untapped efficiencies, optimising performance, and reaping substantial cost benefits.

Amidst all this transformation, it’s quite interesting how on-premises workloads remain a vital piece of the puzzle. However, from cost, management to data security concerns, enterprises face complex challenges in managing a mishmash of different environments as they embark on a hybrid, multi-cloud journey.

The good news is that VMware offers a powerful solution to address these challenges in the form of vSphere.

Modern-Day Enterprises Requires Modern-Day Solutions

VMware vSphere has always been about delivering powerful virtualisation technology that empowers organisations to maximise the potential of their IT infrastructure.

Its latest iteration, VMware vSphere 8 – is now the ultimate enterprise workload platform that bridges the gap between on-premises workloads and cloud benefits. With a fusion of cutting-edge cloud infrastructure technology and groundbreaking DPU and GPU-based acceleration, vSphere 8 propels workload performance to new heights.

For instance, embracing the demands of modern times, vSphere 8 presents an enterprise-ready, self-service Kubernetes run-time, harmonised with a multi-cloud management plane, simplifying the complexities of Kubernetes cluster operations. IT and DevOps teams can effortlessly construct, operate, govern, safeguard, and fortify both traditional and next-gen applications. With flexible subscription options, the vSphere 8 product line provides the freedom to tailor financial management to specific needs.

But that’s not all. Enterprises are poised to unlock a world of possibilities which includes the ability to:

• Harness cloud benefits in the comfort of their own premises.
• Ignite workload performance to unprecedented levels.
• Elevate operational efficiency to new pinnacles.
• Propel innovation for DevOps, empowering teams to accelerate their creative endeavours.

With the simple and flexible subscription model introduced by VMware for vSphere+, businesses can now benefit not only from improved operational aspects of the cloud but also from its consumption model, right in their own data centres.

Transitioning from the traditional on-premise perpetual licensing model to a subscription-based model hosts a ton of advantages, such as increased flexibility, cost predictability, and access to regular updates and new features. Furthermore, with the transition of top software vendors to SaaS or subscription offerings and the sunset of perpetual software sales expected by year-end 2025 as Gartner reported, it is clear that the subscription-based model is the way of the future.
