One of the most exciting projects I worked on last year was the CTOAdvisor Datacentre project around using vSphere-on-Cloud services. The project was for the Oracle Cloud VMware Service (OCVS); they paid for the analysis. We started with the premise (and reality) of an overloaded on-premises infrastructure and a need to rapidly expand capacity to enable a large and sudden work-from-home requirement. The project as a whole looked at the Oracle service plus both VMConAWS and the Google vSphere service. We were unable to test the Azure vSphere service as it was transitioning from the platform built by CloudSimple to a Microsoft developed platform. The short answer is that the Oracle solution’s unique part is that it is not a managed service; you get complete control and responsibility. The other notable aspect is that on OCVS, the vSphere network is far better integrated with the cloud-native network than the other cloud vSphere platforms. My role was primarily around the Build Day TV videos we made, with Thom Greene being the hands-on technical expert. The videos show the practical, technical details of extending on-premises vSphere into OCVS.
