Company expands portfolio of cloud solutions and starts to deliver value-added services and customized solutions

 

The global Infrastructure as a Service market, according to Gartner, is expected to exceed US$ 22 billion this year. With this in mind, Matrix, a reference in technological services for corporations, adopted VMware's public cloud platform in order to expand its portfolio and offer customized solutions to customers. The company, which posted EBITDA growth of 49% in 2017, projects a further increase of 25% for this year.
 
“In their journey towards digital transformation, companies are increasingly looking for effective, accessible and readily activated solutions. Last year, we made strong investments to meet this growing demand, and now, with our VMware-based offering, we look forward to further increasing our industry share by delivering value-added services to organizations that meet their needs.” highlights Eber Lacerda Junior, CEO of Matrix Data Center.
 
VMware's public cloud platform, built specifically for service providers, will help Matrix make that move by accelerating the deployment of services based on its reference architecture. In addition, with vCloud Director, a key component of the platform, the company will be able to expand its infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) solutions for both current and new customers, as the solution allows granular activation of resources based on different levels. of services (SLAs) for each customer.
 
Additionally, Matrix has joined the VMware Cloud Provider Program, which has over 4,000 cloud providers. These companies use VMware's certified reference architectures, such as managed hosting, public or private cloud, to multicloud solutions, mobility, desktop virtualization and cloud applications, as the basis for developing customized offerings and value-added managed services to customers.
 
“Having a highly automated and scalable platform is essential to ensure operational efficiency, security and error reduction. With it, the team that manages the systems no longer needs to be logged in all the time to perform support and change management tasks. In addition, the solution reduces the need for downtime for maintenance or upgrades, as the environment has a redundant architecture with no single point of failure and online support”, explains Raul Goto, responsible for the Cloud Service Providers area at VMware Brazil.
 
The technology also has the flexibility for the simultaneous creation of IaaS with different SLAs and a customer portal, which allows the customer to safely assume the total or partial management of their virtual data centers. In addition, the platform enables the integration of additional services, such as Backup as Service, Firewall and Load Balance as a Service, virtual private networks (VPN), security services, among others.
 
The combination of vCloud Director with vSphere and NSX aims to provide broad support for different versions of operating systems, applications and containers, allowing customers to build advanced virtual network topologies that reflect the needs of their traditional applications as well as cloud native applications simultaneously. .
 
The adoption of the VMware platform will be carried out in several phases already defined in the planning. New services will be gradually incorporated and offered to customers, such as IaaS, DRaaS (Disaster recovery as a service), mobility and application extension, advanced network services, monitoring, capacity management, among others. The objective is to improve the IT of medium and large companies from different segments, especially retail.
