What exactly does Deft manage?
We handle the entire infrastructure, including all hardware, the VMware virtualization platform, and the operating systems on your VMs.
What are common use cases for private vs. public VMware?
Private VMware is the right choice when security, compliance, and performance are top concerns.
Public VMware is ideal for existing customers that want to extend their services with us. They may have colocation cabinets already and want to use a public VMware cloud to spin up VMs for testing. Other times, they use our public VMware for disaster recovery. Maybe they have a private cloud with us in Chicago, and they deploy public clouds in Ashburn and San Jose as failover sites.
What operating systems do you support?
Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, virtual appliances, and any other operating system that’s legal.
How do I integrate a managed VMware cloud from Deft with existing systems?
You can connect any managed VMware cloud to all of your existing gear and cloud(s), no matter where they live. Private VMware clouds directly connect to your existing physical infrastructure and to third-party clouds through direct, 10-Gbps cloud-connects. We can connect traditional dedicated servers, public clouds (ours and/or another provider’s), and private clouds together (hybrid cloud) — or multiple clouds from different providers (multi-cloud).
What compliance does Deft support?
Deft is a SOC 2 audited company and PCI-DSS compliant. Our annual SOC 2 audit serves as the foundation for helping customers satisfy vendor management needs and meet their own compliance requirements, including HIPAA.
