Delivering Customer Choice with a Multi-platform Cloud Solution
 VMware believes the VMW Cloud Infrastructure Stack provides the most efficient and
automated cloud environment
 However, many customers may have heterogeneous pools of infrastructure due to:
• Line of business decision
• Developers going to AWS
• Distributed decision-making
• M&A
 DynamicOps helps deliver on our commitment to customer choice by enabling
customers to choose the model that best works for their needs
