VMworld Keynote: Best Practices for Public and Private Cloud Implementations

The partnership between people and machines will deliver transformative solutions as it becomes deeper, richer and more immersive than ever before. Embracing these transformative solutions will spur innovation and unlock new revenue streams for forward-looking organizations. I believe we will be able to surpass our current limitations and open up our lives to new possibilities. Learn how in my VMworld 2021 Solution Keynote, “Best Practices in Transformation Driven by a Team of Experts.”

Through real-world examples, my team and I will show you how organizations make incredible transformations leveraging both the public and private cloud. Tune in on October 5 to learn about two customers’ transformational journeys directly from the team doing the implementations.

Customer story 1: Top-down Support and the right KPIs are crucial

The first customer case study we will discuss leverages VMware Cloud on AWS through a multi-cloud adoption into the public cloud. This customer needed to achieve velocity to the cloud. To do so, the team had to balance cloud migration with transformation. We will dive into some of the best practices they have learned including how to:

  • Establish a successful top-down mandate
  • Identify metrics for measuring cloud transformation progress
  • Determine when transformation should begin in relation to migration
  • Relocate to achieve migration velocity

Customer story 2: Keep your cloud consumers (your customers) in mind

Internal users of the private cloud include developers and IT folks. These people keep the apps and their infrastructure running smoothly. Leaders must approach transformations with these customers in mind.

In the second case study, we will outline how to build a private cloud that offers public cloud-like services. Attendees will learn how to think differently, and structure an IT organization around offering services rather than managing technology.

This case study is chock-full of expert insight about what it takes to complete a private cloud transformation, and the importance of delivery, app resilience, and organizing around services rather than infrastructure. Tune in on October 5 for tips on how to best leverage modern private cloud technology. You will learn:

  • A four-phase framework to help developers and IT teams deliver a scalable cloud operating model
  • How to maintain a reliable, secure environment to extend existing applications through their logical lifespan
  • How to keep your customers central in your cloud journey

Best practices to future proof your investment

VMware’s Professional Services team knows that human beings and technology together can unlock massive new potential. We’re also acutely aware that the journey forward requires guideposts. To help your organization with its cloud adoption, we’re offering best practices that you can take away from this discussion. The opportunity for you to scale your business and reach your business outcomes through the cloud is tremendous, complex, and fast-moving, and we’re here to help.
