VMware Cloud Foundation

-
VMware Cloud Foundation is the hybrid cloud platform for managing VMs and orchestrating containers, built on full-stack hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) technology. With a single architecture that is easy to deploy, VMware Cloud Foundation enables consistent, secure infrastructure and operations across private and public cloud. Increase enterprise agility and flexibility with the hybrid cloud that delivers it all.

Benefits of VMware Cloud Foundation 

Simplified Management
Optimize performance, resilience, and availability for your Kubernetes clusters with integrated container orchestration, powered by vSphere 7 with Kubernetes.

Flexible Deployment Options
Access the broadest deployment options across both private and public cloud, and choose from self-managed and as-a-service options for HCI.

Enhanced App Performance
Improve application performance and reliability with high performance storage and load balancing of seamless resource pools across every environment.

Standardized Architecture
Automate HCI delivery with the best-in-class compute, storage, networking and management tools that you use in your data center to deliver operational simplicity and lower TCO.

Maximized Scale and IT Efficiency
Manage workloads on premises or in the cloud by extending the same infrastructure, operations, tools, and processes everywhere.

Intrinsic Security
Ensure enterprise-level security with our full-stack HCI platform that consolidates traditional VM and modern container workloads.

Cloud Foundation offers the following core features and benefits:

• Automated hardware and software bring-up – The Cloud Foundation Builder Appliance
deploys a complete SDDC platform consisting of software and hardware in a fully
automated way that requires only minimal user input and advance planning. The Cloud
Foundation Builder Appliance orchestrates the deployment and configuration of an SDDC
platform that adheres to the blueprint set out by VMware Validated Designs and typically
takes less than 3-hours to deploy.

• Simplified resource provisioning – Cloud Foundation creates and maintains logical pools of
compute, storage, and network resources from the underlying physical rack hardware
resources. For this purpose, these physical resources can be allocated and
decommissioned dynamically “on the fly.”

• Automated lifecycle management – SDDC Manager orchestrates patch and upgrade
management of the underlying SDDC software components in a fully automated way.

• Scalability and performance – Cloud Foundation delivers a private cloud instance, which
can easily be integrated into an existing network.

• Multi-Instance Management – Multiple Cloud Foundation instances can be managed
together by grouping them into a federation, such that each member can view information
about the entire federation and the individual instances within it. Federation members can
view inventory across the Cloud Foundation instances in the federation as well as the
available and used aggregate capacity (CPU, memory, and storage). This allows you to
maintain control over the different sites and ensure that they are operating with the right
degree of freedom and meeting compliance regulations for your industry.

What is Microsoft SharePoint ?

-
Microsoft SharePoint is a web-based collaborative platform that integrates with Microsoft Office. It's primarily used for document management and storage but also offers a wide range of capabilities such as intranet, content management, workflow management, business intelligence, and enterprise search. SharePoint allows users to create sites where they can share documents, information, and ideas within their organization. These sites can be customized to fit specific needs, such as team collaboration, project management, or departmental portals. Some key features of SharePoint include: Document Management: Users can upload, store, organize, and share documents within SharePoint sites. Version control ensures that users are always working with the latest version of a document. Collaboration: SharePoint facilitates collaboration among team members through features like document co-authoring, discussion boards, calendars, and task lists.

General Cybersecurity

What is perimeter security?  Perimeter security, in the context of cybersecurity, refers to the measures and strategies implemented to protect an organization's internal network from external threats. It establishes a boundary, or perimeter, between the organization's internal network and the external environment, such as the internet. The goal of perimeter security is to prevent unauthorized access, attacks, and breaches from reaching the internal network and its resources. Here are some key components and concepts related to perimeter security: Firewalls: Firewalls are the cornerstone of perimeter security. They inspect incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined rules and policies. Firewalls can block or allow traffic based on factors such as IP addresses, port numbers, and protocols. Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS): IDPS solutions monitor network traffic for signs of malicious activity or known attack patterns. They can detect and prevent i...

Well-Architected Framework | Solution Architect

-
The Well-Architected Framework is a set of best practices and guidelines designed to help cloud architects build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure for their applications. The framework is developed by AWS (Amazon Web Services), but similar principles can be applied to other cloud platforms. The Well-Architected Framework consists of five pillars, each addressing a key aspect of building well-designed and well-operated systems. These pillars are: Operational Excellence: Focuses on operational practices that ensure efficient and effective use of cloud resources. Key considerations include monitoring, incident response, automation, and overall operational health. Security: Emphasizes the importance of implementing robust security measures to protect data, systems, and assets. Covers data protection, identity and access management, and incident response, among other security aspects. Reliability: Aims to ensure a system's ability to recover from failures ...
