BMC Software, VCE Ally For Cloud Solutions

BMC Software, the Business Service Management company, and VCE have announced a strategic alliance that will combine the industry-leading solutions of both companies to address the growing market demand for best-in-class converged infrastructures in cloud computing projects.

As IT departments adopt cloud at an ever-accelerating pace, the integration of the VCE Vblock Infrastructure Platform and BMC’s business-centric cloud management solutions will help joint customers for BMC and VCE automate their management of comprehensive cloud infrastructures. As a part of the alliance, BMC and VCE will enhance the interoperability and integration of their products and work together to promote and offer their solutions in the market.

“Vblock platforms bring together best-of-breed technology from Cisco, EMC and VMware to enable rapid deployment of cloud applications using a converged infrastructure,” said Frank Hauck, president of VCE. “By working closely with BMC, VCE is further simplifying and automating management processes for the benefit of our mutual customers. This will enable them to focus more of their attention and resources on using the cloud to deliver better IT services, faster and at lower costs than traditional datacentre models.”
