Introducing the Private Cloud Maturity Model
Every organization envisions a robust and efficient private cloud tailored to their specific needs. This includes the desired services, essential security features, required availability levels, and preferred methods for service consumption. While establishing this vision is a critical first step, the real challenge lies in bringing it to fruition. To address this, Broadcom has developed the Private Cloud Maturity Model — a comprehensive assessment designed to help you realize your organization’s private cloud ambitions.
Already incorporated into various programs provided by Broadcom, like the Pro-Cloud Services Jumpstart, this framework provides for an analysis of the environment and results in a prescriptive collection of actionable guidance to achieve your desired private cloud vision.
Private Cloud Maturity Model

If you are attending VMware Explore, we encourage you to attend the session, ‘Building a Modern Private Cloud using the Cloud Maturity Model Framework!’ (VCFP1362LV) presented by William Lam and Gary Blake.
