VMware Cloud Foundation
VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) is VMware’s newest offering to help simplify the overall VMware ecosystem. By bundling together vSphere, NSX, vSAN and others, Government agencies can solve their toughest challenges. Deployed as an on-premises software-defined infrastructure, VCF serves as a basis for multicloud deployments by delivering a full-stack private cloud platform that establishes a robust, extensible cloud operating model.
VCF supports agencies at all stages of their multicloud journey by providing a cloud operating model that enables application mobility across geographically dispersed cloud boundaries. By deploying software-defined infrastructure as part of an on-premises private cloud, infrastructure architects can seamlessly extend to hybrid and multicloud infrastructure using a consistent cloud operating model.
The key benefits of running VMware Cloud Foundation include:
- Making self-service private cloud easy with a consistent operating, governance and consumption model for consistency across clouds and workload types.
- Enable the adoption of modern use cases, such as DevOps for infrastructure and network automation for business and IT agility, productivity and efficiency.
- Integrated Zero Trust networking and distributed firewalls via NSX provide granular security controls.
VMware vDefend Firewall and ATP (Add-On)
Public Sector agencies are constant targets for cyberattacks from all sides – individuals, activist groups and even nation-state-level coordinated campaigns. In response, the White House published mandates that require Government agencies to segment their networks, shrink their attack surface, minimize lateral threat proliferation and reduce risk.
VMware vDefend Distributed Firewall is the solution to these escalating threats. The vDefend Firewall changes the game as a software-defined distribute Layer 7 firewall that delivers context-based, granular enforcement at scale, protecting all application workloads. This allows agencies to radically simplify firewall deployment and operations without changing their network and realize the power of contextual security policies with VM mobility
Additionally, VMware vDefend Advanced Threat Prevention (ATP) offers Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) that allow agencies to inspect network traffic at every hypervisor and workload, detecting and preventing malicious actors from exploiting software vulnerabilities and gaining access to critical systems and data. vDefend ATP also provides deep threat visibility into both north-south and east-west application traffic, including deep insights on abnormal behavior and anomalies across private cloud environments.
