Flexential, a leading provider of secure and flexible data center solutions, announced the latest evolution of its Hosted Private Cloud offering, introducing new capabilities enabled by VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9 that give organizations a new way to modernize private cloud infrastructure without taking on the hardware and operational burden of managing it themselves.
As a VMware Cloud Service Provider (VCSP) Pinnacle partner, Flexential combines deep VMware expertise with a managed operating model that gives customers greater control over how they consume and manage private cloud resources while Flexential manages the underlying infrastructure and platform operations. VCF 9 brings compute, storage, networking, and management together in a unified private cloud platform designed to support traditional enterprise applications alongside Kubernetes and AI workloads. IT teams can make virtual machines, storage, and network capacity available to developers through a self-service interface while maintaining control over access and resource consumption.
The introduction of VCF 9 comes as companies reassess how they operate VMware environments and look for ways to update their infrastructure without adding management complexity. Many are weighing how much of that responsibility they want to keep in-house so their teams can focus on higher-value initiatives.
“Organizations have spent years building applications, processes, and expertise around VMware, and modernization should extend that investment, not force them to abandon it,” said Craig Cook, SVP of Cloud and Data Protection at Flexential. “With VCF 9, Flexential manages the underlying platform while giving customers a modern, automated private cloud with greater self-service and control. This helps IT teams strengthen security, accelerate application delivery, and create a more adaptable foundation for Kubernetes, AI, and emerging workloads.”
Flexential also provides migration capabilities and expertise to help organizations transition existing VMware workloads to modern private cloud environments while minimizing disruption. This gives customers a path to modernize existing VMware investments without requiring application redesign or a wholesale change in operating model.
