Helping you find the right place for your workloads

Softcat brings expertise in both VMware and the public cloud platforms it runs on. If you already have a public cloud, we help VMware work effectively and efficiently on it.

If you are still choosing, we advise on the platform that suits your workloads best. Either way, the right workload lands in the right location.

Migrating to the cloud

VCF in public cloud

Your VCF subscription now travels. Broadcom's licence portability lets you buy VCF through Softcat and deploy it on supported public cloud offerings, on dedicated bare-metal hosts. The same platform, tooling, and skills carry across, so workloads can move without refactoring. Placement becomes a choice you can revisit as needs change.

When public cloud is the right home

Some workloads genuinely belong in public cloud. Burst capacity, global reach, short-lived environments, and applications built for native cloud services all make the case. Disaster recovery capacity often sits better rented than owned.

We name it when public cloud is the answer, and we say so when it is not.
