EMC HYBRID CLOUD SOLUTION Cloud Infrastructure and Services with EMC and VMware ESSENTIALS The Challenge Decisions about application placement and consumption are growing more complex. The right mix of public and private cloud resources are required to support business initiatives, but a lack of visibility and interoperability make it difficult for Enterprise IT to effectively leverage both public and private cloud together. Nonetheless the business will not wait, and IT needs to deliver the required infrastructure and application support quickly and easily to the business – or risk losing relevancy. The Solution Implementing the EMC Hybrid Cloud solution enables enterprise IT to: • Leverage public and private cloud resources seamlessly
