GREENFIELD DEPLOYMENT
Greenfield VCF 9.x Deployment
Build an Automated, Future-Ready Private Cloud from the Ground Up
Modernize your IT infrastructure with a clean-slate, turn-key VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.x deployment. CloudBunch architects and builds enterprise-grade VCF private clouds engineered for high availability, automated operational efficiency, and native support for high-performance enterprise AI workloads—all deployed using VMware Validated Designs (VVD) and Broadcom best practices.
WHY GREENFIELD
Why Choose a Greenfield VCF 9.x Deployment?
A greenfield deployment provides a fresh start, allowing your organization to eliminate legacy technical debt, outdated network topologies, and improper storage configurations. By deploying VCF 9.x natively, you gain a fully automated, software-defined data center (SDDC) tailored precisely to your current and future business demands.
- Eliminate Technical Debt: start clean with modern architectural baselines without carrying forward legacy cluster limitations or hardware constraints.
- Native AI Infrastructure Readiness: pool GPU resources, optimise vSAN Max storage, and deploy automated Kubernetes clusters for modern AI/ML pipelines.
- Full Stack Automation: accelerate Day 0 bring-up and simplify Day 2 lifecycle management using SDDC Manager for unified patch, upgrade, and configuration management.
- Zero Workload Contamination: build, validate, and secure the target environment before migrating production workloads over from legacy systems.
OUR PROCESS
Our Deployment Architecture & Process
From architecture and design through automated bring-up to final validation, every Greenfield deployment follows a structured, repeatable process — built to remove risk before production workloads ever touch the platform.
1. Architecture Design & Planning
- Management Domain & VI Workload Domain Sizing: designing isolated, secure, scalable domain boundaries.
- Storage Architecture: high-performance vSAN / vSAN Max policies for production and containerized workloads.
- Network & NSX Topology: leaf-spine fabrics, BGP routing, NSX Tier-0/Tier-1 gateways, distributed firewalls.
2. Automated Bring-Up & Deployment
- Automated deployment using Cloud Builder and SDDC Manager to establish the Management Domain.
- Host commissioning, network virtualization, and vSphere cluster creation aligned with security hardening standards.
- Deployment of modern management suites (Aria / vRealize Operations, Log Insight, and Automation).
3. Validation, Hardening & Handover
- Comprehensive post-deployment health checks and failover testing across compute, storage, and networking layers.
- Integration with enterprise identity providers (Active Directory / SSO), backup frameworks, and security monitoring tools.
- Detailed operational documentation, topology diagrams, and knowledge transfer for your internal IT team.
Key Features of Your New VCF 9.x Environment
Unified Cloud Operations
