Cloud Foundation . The increased resilience allowed workloads to be moved between providers , while giving the MoH ’ s IT team visibility of , and the ability to manage , workloads from a single pane of glass .
The deployment of VMware VCF includes VMware NSX-T Data Center as the platform for building the secure virtual cloud network ; VMware vRealize Suite as the cloud management suite to provide automation , operations , log analytics , and lifecycle management on-premises ; and VMware vSAN to reduce storage complexity and cost .
simplify and modernise its IT systems . It decided to do this by moving to a unified , multi-cloud strategy with VMware , with all workloads under one umbrella and the ability to offer innovative IT services to the entire healthcare sector across the country .
Implementation
The MoH decided to spread its IT workloads across various service providers , including telecom operators STC and Mobily , and unify everything under VMware
The deployment also included VMware vCenter to gain visibility across the hybrid cloud from a single console , and VMware vSphere to enable the MoH to develop and deploy modern applications from the cloud . The MoH deployed VMware HCX to help streamline application migration , workload rebalancing and business continuity across the environment .
With the full VCF stack deployed , Saudi Arabia ’ s entire public healthcare system is set to benefit from the resiliency , agility and efficiency created by the shared cloud platform . Each healthcare facility will save valuable resources by having access to virtual infrastructure , storage , machines , and as-a-service applications from the Ministry of Health . They will also be able to design and deploy applications from the
