HCX is VMware’s premium solution for live migrating workloads and hybrid cloud connectivity. Partners can automatically bridge their Dedicated Private Clouds with the customers on-premises environment to migrate their workloads quickly and easily. HCX for all editions is only available in VCPP, and it provides a great way to go from Infrastructure Ready to Customer Onboarded in the shortest time possible.
Flexible Deployment Options
VMware Cloud Foundation deploys on top of Hyper-Converged Infrastructure. This is part of the magic that makes deployments faster and easier. With so many vendors offering vSAN Ready Nodes as well as Dell’s VxRail platform, partners have plenty of options to choose from. The same goes for network, bring any network hardware and get up and running in no time at all.
