Dialog Enterprise, the corporate solutions arm of Dialog Axiata PLC, recently received the Cloud Verified badge from the VMware Cloud Provider in Sri Lanka and joined a group of 235 providers worldwide. Dialog Enterprise stated that it will be delivering a full set of interoperable VMware Cloud infrastructure capabilities as-a-service to its enterprise customers. Issuing a statement recently, Dialog noted that whilst a more traditional, on-premise virtualized environment requires in-house server hardware, software licenses, integration capabilities, and IT employees on hand to support and manage potential issues that may arise, in a cloud environment companies can forego capital expenses whilst paying for only the resources used and automatically back-up the data needed. "With Dialog Enterprise Cloud, customers are empowered to select from the pay-as-you-grow pricing model with the added benefit of utilizing shared-resource cloud economics to pay on an as-needed basis and effectively scale up or down depending on overall usage, user requirements, and the growth of the company," it added. Through the recognition of the VMware Cloud Verified Badge on its cloud service offerings, Dialog Enterprise Cloud presents control in choosing cloud services to meet workloads of people whilst facilitating its enterprise customers with their foundational cloud technologies and services being based on VMware Cloud Infrastructure, including; VMware vSphere, VMware vSAN, and VMware NSX. According to Dialog Enterprise, the Cloud verified designation indicates that a VMware Cloud Provider can offer inconsistent infrastructure and operations through a complete set of software-defined services for computing, storage, networking, security, and cloud management. The Cloud Verified badge means customers achieve unmatched levels of consistency, performance and interoperability for both traditional or containerized enterprise applications, and the confidence that the service is based on the most advanced VMware cloud technologies. Dialog Enterprise Cloud says that it guarantees its customer’s a solution enabler where trained and qualified partners guide customers through coaching, further integration and interoperability where customers can deploy core compute, storage, and network building blocks enabling freedom to run apps in the cloud or private data centre.
