Taking the On-Ramp to Enterprise Cloud with Next-Generation HCI An enterprise cloud delivers the frictionless agility, simplicity, and fractional consumption of public cloud services while provid- ing control over performance, location of data and services, and choice of platforms. Six key components comprise the enterprise cloud: » Unified governance models are the policy-centric instantia- tions of the single control plane discussed earlier in this chapter. » Full-stack infrastructure and platform services deliver turnkey infrastructure for any app at any scale, anywhere, delivered through a combination of on-premises datacenters and public cloud services. » Zero-click operations and artificial intelligence/machine learning deliver operational simplicity through automation and insights. » Rapid elastic consumption allows businesses to buy and use only the IT resources they need, and non-disruptively scale when demands grow. It helps embrace an OpEx model within and outside of the datacenter. » Integrated security and governance covers the entire infrastructure stack across private and public clouds, leveraging automation to maintain a security baseline. » Application-centric mobility lets businesses place and move applications anywhere, with no infrastructure lock- in.
