This includes component-level updates, ongoing lifecycle assurance and unified support across all components. Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud combines converged infrastructure and EMC services into a complete hybrid cloud. VCE converged infrastructures feature “best-of-breed” compute and network technology from Cisco, storage and data protection from EMC, and network virtualisation, management and orchestration and server virtualisation solutions from VMware.
