HCL partners VMware to launch a Dedicated Business Unit

HCL Technologies has teamed up with the US-based cloud computing company VMware to launch a new dedicated VMware business unit to help enterprises accelerate cloud and app transformation, primarily aimed at hybrid workforces.

HCL’s new VMware business unit is a part of its strategic alliance partner ecosystem, which leverages the CloudSmart Framework to provide multi-cloud and app modernization solutions.

Anand Swamy, Senior Vice President, Head of Tech OEM Ecosystems, HCL Technologies, said, "We are in a macroeconomic environment where ecosystems must collaborate to provide innovative and effective solutions that the industry requires. Our new VMware business unit leverages the HCL and VMware synergies to incubate, construct and architect innovative, customized cloud implementation strategies with our CloudSMART approach as the baseline."

Zia Yusuf, Senior Vice President, Strategic Ecosystem and Industry Solutions, VMware, said, "Today, we are witnessing the unstoppable forces of digital transformation in almost every industry, and VMware is providing the trusted foundation to accelerate customers’ innovation. With HCL, we are helping our mutual customers by providing the smartest path to app, cloud and edge modernization and a more secure, frictionless experience for the distributed workforce. VMware preserves customer choice and protects against lock-in through multi-cloud services that offer businesses the freedom and flexibility they need to build the future."

HCL will help organizations pursue the path of digital dominance by aligning transformation with the overall business objectives while remaining agile via cloud freedom and enterprise control enabled by the VMware product and service offerings.

For the past 14 years, VMware and HCL have partnered to bring several services and solutions built for the modern enterprise.

HCL said that it has more than 8000 professionals trained on VMware technologies, manages three VMware centers of excellence and has created four cloud-native labs.
