As cheap, efficient, public cloud offerings continue to whet people’s appetites for plug and play IT, companies are rushing to meet the demand.

“It’s going to be on like Donkey Kong” for ready-to-use infrastructure this year, said VCE Co., LLC President Chad Sakac. Owned by EMC, VCE provides converged infrastructure and solutions.

Sakac told Stu Miniman, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, that the company is striving to offer the best in both departments. He said that buildable infrastructure blocks, racks, and appliances are extremely important to VCE’s business model, but that buyable, turnkey infrastructure is an area of intense interest right now. He sees VCE as well positioned to lead the race.

“We’re the group that basically delivers on a business outcome when a customer says, ‘I’m sick and tired of building stuff. I just want to buy it and consume it,'” he said.

Instant gratification

Hyper-converged infrastructure is growing, and Sakac sees the growth of public cloud as responsible for the shift to turnkey IT. He said that public cloud has “crystallized” people’s thinking so that now they are desiring similar ease of use and readiness across the board. People are gravitating toward companies that can simply sell businesses converged infrastructure and manage it for them.

“We’re the leader of doing that for customers around the world and growing extremely rapidly,” he said.
