Virtualization 2 Business

V2B: Virtualization to Business
Do you want Business Agility? Start with Virtualization
Herald Schelke sales executive V2B

The Pitch…just what is V2B?

The Bridge to Agile IT Services
 Capgemini is combining its business-centric approach with VMware’s proven
virtualization technologies to focus IT on delivering business value. Through
its suite of “V2B: Virtualization to Business” service offerings, Capgemini
provides the insight, roadmap and support to help clients derive maximum
value from existing virtualization efforts and make the transition to a cloud
infrastructure.

V2B brings the technology and business together in a unified solution.

Today it provides three key focus areas:
• Enabling greater adoption through the removal of adoption barriers
• Supporting the realignment of process and organisation to an
already agile IT infrastructure
• Redefining the consumption model by the business for IT

Defining the Cloud end point
 The ability to create the illusion of infinite capacity; the
performance is the same if scaled for one, to a hundred,
or a thousand users with consistent service-level
characteristics.
 Abstraction of the infrastructure so applications are not
constrained to hardware or locations.
 Pay-as-you-go usage of the IT service; you only pay for
what you use and with no or minimal up-front investment
costs.
 Rapid elasticity; able to scale up and scale down with
near instant availability. Typically, no forward planning
forecast is required.
 Access to applications and information from the network
and on any device.
