Distinctive services-centered approach combines with technologies from
Unisys and Dell, enabling clients to build on existing IT investments while
integrating next-generation cloud solutions
Unisys Corporation (http://www.unisys.com/) (NYSE: UIS) today announced at
Dell Technologies World 2019 ( https://www.delltechnologiesworld.com/index.htm) that its Unisys CloudForte(TM)
(https://www.unisys.com/offerings/cloud-and-infrastructure-services/cloudforte)
managed-service solution is now available for hybrid cloud environments
encompassing private clouds and conventional data center resources as well as
public clouds.
CloudForte(TM)for Hybrid provides a guardrail against excessive complexity
and expense as organizations accelerate their digital transformation,
enabling them to realize the following benefits:
- Leverage their existing investments in IT resources while integrating new
capabilities to accelerate secure digital transformation;
- Automate cloud operations for anytime, anywhere access to computing resources;
- Speed application modernization across the integrated environment;
- Streamline governance across the cloud lifecycle
The new solution complements CloudForte implementations that Unisys has
already launched for the widely used Amazon Web Services (AWS)(

and Microsoft Azure (
https://www.unisys.com/offerings/cloud-and-infrastructure-services/cloudforte/cloudforte-for-azure)
public-cloud environments, which
can be integrated securely into the CloudForte for Hybrid ecosystem.
The Unisys Cloud Center of Enablement approach distinguishes CloudForte for
Hybrid from other offerings in the market. It comprises a suite of advisory, infrastructure transformation, operational, optimization and application modernization services delivered by more than 1,000
professionals with cloud certifications.
That approach amplifies the power of the Unisys and Dell Technologies
software that enables the CloudForte for Hybrid platform. The Unisys
offering includes:
- An automated software-as-a-service platform to identify and provision
private, public and hybrid cloud services as necessary to provide the
most effective and cost-efficient resources for a given task;
- Real-time analytics and transparent single-pane management of the hybrid
environment and service management system;
- Capabilities for industrial-grade modernization of legacy applications through identification of legacy IT assets and prioritization of their migration to the cloud;
- Pre-populated blueprints available in self-service catalogs for
simplified implementation and secure governance.
Dell Technologies software complementing the Unisys components of
CloudForte for Hybrid includes the VMware virtual cloud operating environment and VMware Enterprise PKS container offering; Pivotal
application development and odernization tools; CloudVelox for workload
migration; and CloudHealth by VMware for cost management.
"Digital transformation and organization-wide cloud adoption are rapidly
accelerating, but can be unexpectedly difficult to govern and optimize," said Chris Wick, vice president, Infrastructure Transformation Services,
Unisys. "CloudForte for Hybrid provides a services-driven offering that
empowers organizations to create a cloud-enabled digital IT environment by
integrating and managing all their IT resources smoothly, securely and cost-efficiently."
Organizations using CloudForte for Hybrid can benefit from Unisys’ Zero
Trust (https://www.unisys.com/offerings/security-solutions) approach to
enterprise security: trust no user or device inside or outside the private
network and grant as little access as possible upon reliable identification.
Unisys offers deep expertise in enterprise security for mobile and cloud
environments, including products and services based on Unisys Stealth(R) (
https://www.unisys.com/offerings/security-solutions/unisys-stealth-products-and-services).
Stealth(TM) uses identity-based dynamic isolation(TM), which empowers clients
to respond to threats in a matter of seconds by quickly and proactively
isolating users and devices, enabling the business to keep operating even while under attack.
