Multicloud is the new denominator for modern enterprise computing operations and applications.

This new paradigm implies a rapid acceleration in hardware capabilities to meet expanding software requirements. Dell Technologies Inc. is staying up to date by underpinning VxRail to deliver end-user solutions for hosting and deploying modern applications in addition to automating containerization.

“It’s all about pairing VxRail with all the VMware technology,” said Ash McCarty (pictured, right), director of multicloud product management at Dell Technologies. “How we look at it is the capabilities that VMware is exposing to our customer base, they can then deploy those on VxRail and get all the automated infrastructure outcomes that we make available to customers and the value that they can drive into the product.”

McCarty and Adam Little (left), enterprise security and compliance manager at New Belgium Brewing Company Inc., spoke with industry analysts  John Furrier and Rob Strechay at VMware Explore 2023, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how NBB is a practical example of multicloud’s industrial applicability. (* Disclosure below.)

Analyzing the NBB use case

NBB is a nationally distributed, US-based brewery that manufactures a wide range of products with an intricate supply chain. The cruciality of hosting certain workloads on-site has created a need to get a “cloud-like delivery of on-prem infrastructure,” according to Little.

“We’re always going to have on-prem hardware because we’re a brewery; we manufacture things,” he said. “There are things like PLCs and valve controls and things that we wouldn’t risk running those somewhere that was offsite. As we migrated adding new sites, just trying to really get the foundation that’s going to be our inner infrastructure solution of choice and understanding how we right-size all those data centers.”

One key benefit that NBB has reaped is the consistent automation of outcomes. A certain trust builds when results are constantly validated and mundane software management tasks are abstracted, Little added.

“The trust we have in [the] VMware and Dell Solutions has really helped us build a foundation … we know we don’t need to double- and triple-check,” he explained. “The validation work has been done for us.”
