VMware and its partnership with Lumen Technologies

For many years, VMware has been in a long-standing partnership with Lumen Technologies from edge computing to workspace and security, VMware has helped Lumen Technologies in many different areas. 

“More recently, we've worked on delivering a private cloud with the VMware cloud foundation and the Luman private cloud,” says Bartram.

Hosted on VMware’s Cloud Foundation™, Lumen Technologies’ private cloud service delivers a public cloud experience that’s encapsulated in a secure and private cloud footprint. 

Bartram comments: “Our validated solution offers a consistent operational experience across multiple cloud environments for our customers, as well as having easily replicable blocks that can be customised and built-to-order to meet the specific customer requirements. The solution provides fantastic coverage and a complete solution for customers.”
