This expansion results in a complete software-defined data center (SDDC) solution based on the Dell Technologies stack – combining Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with the VMware Cloud Foundation software architecture into a fully automated and fully-managed service. This comprehensive offering, with over 1,000 infrastructure configuration options, is supported by highly experienced CenturyLink staff, and brings together compute, storage, security and network virtualization into a tightly integrated resource stack that meets the agile demands of today’s digital businesses.
“As our customers continue on their digital transformation journeys, it is common to find workloads that don’t fit in the public cloud, yet still require reliable automation, simple operations, and resilient data protection,” said David Shacochis, vice president of Hybrid IT product management, CenturyLink. “With this new capability, we continue to give customers more ways to tap into the power of the software-defined data center while staying connected to a range of hybrid cloud venues through our adaptive, global fiber network.”
