Mexico. The focus on digital business transformation has intensified as companies leverage great advantages: more agile innovation, higher productivity, and revenue. Today, the country's it and business leaders want to know: "How do we accelerate digital transformation? Against this backdrop, Westcon, a value wholesaler in advanced networking, security and communications technology solutions, and VMware, a global leader in cloud infrastructure and enterprise mobility, provide solutions to help Mexican organizations modernize data centers, integrate hybrid cloud, strengthen digital workspaces and transform security.
While the business advantages of data center and cloud transformation are known: greater agility, responsiveness to change, better profitability, and faster innovation time for new applications, many IT environments present obstacles to modernization. In an application-centric world, provisioning network and security services is often too slow and manual. Faced with these challenges, "Westcon and VMware remove these obstacles. First, we modernize hardware-based computing, storage, and networking infrastructure and define them by software to provide efficiency and agility. Hyperconverging these virtualized resources with unified management accelerates deployment and simplifies management. Organizations can then automate IT to further optimize provisioning and deployment to keep pace with business demands," said Tomás Valles, Engineering Manager, VMware Mexico.
Maximizing the benefits of cloud technologies
In reference to the adoption of cloud technologies, hybrid clouds can be an excellent option to support modern applications and digital business processes. In addition, using public clouds can reduce support costs and data center footprint. Companies are trying to figure out how to use any cloud to get the most out of it. They want freedom and control of the cloud, and they are concerned about vendor dependency and isolated cloud components. Customers can also securely connect and manage multiple clouds using VMware's cloud management platforms, from on-premises , or through software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based services. "We have a management platform so IT departments can manage all workloads across different clouds. Customers can observe and monitor cloud computing services in a common environment, apply information to manage costs and service-level agreements, and protect data and applications through network virtualization and policy-driven access across different clouds," says Valles.
Ricardo Bárcenas, BDM Data Center at Westcon comments: "VMware's software-defined solutions enable enterprises to run modern applications on an enterprise-grade platform. Thanks to these technologies, IT departments can provide the best application experience, regardless of whether it is a cloud-native, Internet-scalable, or open application programming interface-based application application. All this, with the main objective of maximizing the adoption and implementation of technologies that drive digital transformation in Mexican companies, and that ultimately can adapt more quickly to this digital era."
