Use cases

Step by step to the cloud

Enterprises today are under tremendous pressure to innovate, but they often have legacy IT that has grown over the years or systems that should not be in a public cloud. This is where pluscloud VMware comes in: Step by step, you can move to the cloud at your own pace and as your workload demands. The familiar VMware environment makes the transformation even easier. But not everything needs to be moved to the cloud right away. For some applications, it may make more sense to plan for an intermediate step or a permanent hybrid scenario – all possible with pluscloud VMware. Once the selected workloads have been successfully migrated to the cloud, companies can enjoy the familiar benefits of increased performance, flexibility and reliability. Our customer Dr. Dienst & Partner has also modernized its IT with pluscloud VMware: In combination with colocation, the law firm uses a hybrid solution that offers the optimum benefit for each workload.

Easing the burden on professionals with managed services

Due to the shortage of IT professionals, companies often lack the human resources or internal know-how to operate and maintain their own infrastructure and keep it up to date. With pluscloud VMware, companies can outsource the responsibility for infrastructure operations to plusserver and focus on what they want to run on it. We make sure the infrastructure is always up to date. We also offer consulting and managed services to help companies get the most out of their pluscloud VMware. Our customer DEKRA Media also approached us with a request for operational support. Thanks to pluscloud VMware, including round-the-clock operation and monitoring, we take the pressure off the company and its IT team.

Strengthen enterprise resilience with business continuity

In addition to the integrated backup solution, pluscloud VMware supports several other services that strengthen enterprise resiliency and ensure business continuity. This makes it ideal for implementing business continuity strategies to improve resiliency and ensure business operations in the event of potential disasters, such as cyber-attacks, data theft, power outages, or natural disasters. The additional compute and storage capacity needed only in the event of a disaster can be easily and quickly purchased from pluscloud VMware on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Anwendungsfälle S-4HANA Migration

The data-sovereign cloud for SAP S/4HANA

High resource requirements and a special need to protect sensitive data: SAP workloads in the cloud require maximum performance and data security. With pluscloud VMware from our secure, GDPR-compliant, SAP- and TÜV-certified data centers in Germany, customers get the data-sovereign cloud for SAP S/4HANA. Optional private nodes from pluscloud VMware ensure maximum performance, compliance and security for particularly high resource requirements.

High Performance Computing (HPC) with vGPU for big data workloads 

pluscloud VMware provides a powerful platform for HPC workloads: High-performance vCPUs combined with GPUs significantly accelerate the processing of large amounts of data. NVIDIA hardware ensures the high-performance parallel processing essential for AI, ML, deep learning, modeling and real-time visualization applications. GPU support offloads vCores, resulting in faster and more accurate data processing. Compute-intensive workloads at application level (e.g. floating-point operations, AI models, complex rendering) are no longer a problem. GPU instances can be provisioned on-demand, allowing organizations to reduce investment costs in their own hardware and flexibly respond to changing needs. With vCore speeds in excess of 3 GHz and support from high-end GPU cores, pluscloud VMware is ideal for organizations that demand the highest performance and want to run their big data workloads in a secure and scalable environment.

Pricing

With the acquisition of VMware by Broadcom, the billing model has changed: As you can see from the new licensing, billing is now based on the number of processor cores. VMware products must now be paid for on a per-core basis. In addition, a minimum of 16 cores per CPU must be licensed.

As a Pinnacle partner, we are happy to be your strategic contact for all questions related to your VMware setups. Together we can explore your individual optimization options. (Button “Send request” ergänzen)
