On-Demand, Pay-As-You-Go Infrastructure as a Service

vCloud Express is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering delivered by leading VMware service provider partners. It provides reliable, on-demand, pay-as-you-go infrastructure that ensures compatibility with internal VMware environments and with VMware Virtualized™ services.

This class of service allows IT to reduce both the capex and resource challenges associated with the fluctuating infrastructure requirements of development teams. Developers are able to use the vCloud Express service at their convenience to address various infrastructure and programming needs such as experimentation, prototyping and testing. The vCloud Express service retains the robustness, interoperability and reliability that VMware is known for.

Our vCloud Partner Ecosystem, which includes the ISV and open source community has taken note of our investment in vCloud and is integrating key solutions with the VMware vCloud API as part of innovative services from VMware vCloud Express providers. For example, we now have available both Java and Python software development kits (SDKs) for the vCloud API, making it easier for developers and ISVs to jumpstart their projects by flexibly leveraging private and public cloud services via the vCloud API.

Why Your Company Should Virtualize

Virtualizing your IT infrastructure lets you reduce IT costs while increasing the efficiency, utilization, and flexibility of your existing assets. Around the world, companies of every size benefit from VMware virtualization. Thousands of organizations—including all of the Fortune 100—use VMware virtualization solutions. See how virtualizing 100% of your IT infrastructure will benefit your organization.

Top 5 Reasons to Adopt Virtualization Software

1. Get more out of your existing resources: Pool common infrastructure resources and break the legacy “one application to one server” model with server consolidation.
2. Reduce datacenter costs by reducing your physical infrastructure and improving your server to admin ratio: Fewer servers and related IT hardware means reduced real estate and reduced power and cooling requirements. Better management tools let you improve your server to admin ratio so personnel requirements are reduced as well.
3. Increase availability of hardware and applications for improved business continuity: Securely backup and migrate entire virtual environments with no interruption in service. Eliminate planned downtime and recover immediately from unplanned issues.
4. Gain operational flexibility: Respond to market changes with dynamic resource management, faster server provisioning and improved desktop and application deployment.
5. Improve desktop manageability and security: Deploy, manage and monitor secure desktop environments that users can access locally or remotely, with or without a network connection, on almost any standard desktop, laptop or tablet PC.
