BMC Software and VCE have formed a strategic alliance that will combine the solutions of both companies to address the growing market demand for best-in-class converged infrastructures in cloud computing projects.
As IT departments adopt cloud at an ever-accelerating pace, the integration of the VCE Vblock Infrastructure Platform and BMC’s business-centric cloud management solutions will help joint customers for BMC and VCE automate their management of comprehensive cloud infrastructures.
As a part of the alliance, BMC and VCE will enhance the interoperability and integration of their products and work together to promote and offer their solutions in the market. Mutual customers include leading organizations such as Harris Corp., Telstra and QTS.
“Vblock platforms bring together best-of-breed technology from Cisco, EMC and VMware to enable rapid deployment of cloud applications using a converged infrastructure,” said Frank Hauck, President of VCE.
“By working closely with BMC, VCE is further simplifying and automating management processes for the benefit of our mutual customers. This will enable them to focus more of their attention and resources on using the cloud to deliver better IT services, faster and at lower costs than traditional data center models.”
In addition to integrating the orchestration capabilities of BMC’s Cloud Lifecycle Management solution, BMC and VCE will collaborate across other areas of the BMC Business Service Management platform including, for example, BMC’s ProactiveNet Performance Management Suite, which combines planning, predictive analytics and preventative automation for improved management of complex Vblock platform infrastructures.
“The ability of BMC’s cloud management solutions to orchestrate the full-stack provisioning of services and provide superior consistency through proactive performance and management functionality are unmatched within the marketplace,” said Paul Avenant, President of Enterprise Service Management (ESM) at BMC.
