VMware vSphere Foundation.

Optimize the data center performance for organizations of all sizes. Improve operations management, supercharge workload performance, elevate security posture, and accelerate innovation for your business.

With the proliferation of workloads on public, private and edge clouds, enterprise IT environments are becoming more fractured and compartmentalized than ever.

This growing complexity hinders innovation, decreases productivity, increases costs and complicates security. To thrive, it's essential to resolve this complexity. How can we do this? With a modern solution that offers four essential elements:

• Intelligent operations management that helps optimize the use of existing resources.
• A highperforming infrastructure that features simplified hardware lifecycle management.
• A developerfriendly platform that enables DevOps services and Kubernetes clusters.
• Security and compliance features that help protect data and meet regulatory standards.

vSphere Foundation takes your organization through the four stages of IT infrastructure optimization:

1. 

Boost operational efficiency

Intelligent operations management and advanced analytics help maximize capacity utilization.

• Optimize operations with visibility across compute, storage and network.
• Leverage advanced app monitoring and AI-driven troubleshooting and remediation.
• Improve ROI with tools to assess capacity and automate cost savings.

2.

Supercharge workload performance

Get the power to easily meet the throughput and latency requirements of modern workloads.

• Boost key workload performance by offloading system functions from CPUs to DPUs.
• Harness up to 16 physical or virtual GPUs per VM to power larger AI/ML workloads.
• Improve the ROI of your AI infrastructure with GPU-aware workload placement and load balancing.

3. 

Accelerate innovation for DevOps

VMware vSphere Foundation provides the fastest way to get started with Kubernetes and accelerate business innovation.

• Modernize existing workloads to meet customer needs.
• Build and run new modern apps on a unified system for simplified management.
