VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Services

VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) brings vSphere, vSAN, NSX and lifecycle management into a single, standardised private cloud platform. We design it, upgrade you onto it and migrate your workloads into it - with VMware HCX doing the heavy lifting.

Our VMware Cloud Foundation services

Why organisations move to VCF

• End of support for vSphere 7 and legacy 8 estates forces a platform decision.
• Standardisation - one validated design, one lifecycle process, fewer surprises at patch time.
• Networking and security built in through NSX, including micro-segmentation.
• Licensing changes under Broadcom make consolidation onto VCF the pragmatic route for many estates.

How a VCF programme runs

• Assess - current estate, dependencies, licensing and constraints.
• Design - target VCF architecture, sizing and low/high-level design documents.
• Build - deploy the management and workload domains, validate against the design.
• Migrate - HCX site pairing, network extension and wave-based workload moves.
• Operate - lifecycle management, upgrade cadence, monitoring and handover.

VCF versions we work with

We work across VCF 5.x and VCF 9.x, including the differences in lifecycle management, identity, and the VCF Operations stack. If you are still deciding on a target version, start with our VCF 5.x vs VCF 9.x comparison.
