VCF Gains Momentum As Enterprises Scale Hybrid Cloud

VCF serves as an integrated cloud platform that brings the flexibility and speed of public cloud environments to private cloud deployments while maintaining strong security, high performance, and lower total cost of ownership.

The platform allows organizations to operate traditional workloads, modern applications, and AI systems consistently on a single infrastructure. Today, nine of the top 10 Fortune 500 companies already use VCF in their environments.

With this enhanced collaboration, NEC will strengthen its ability to support customers in building secure, hybrid cloud environments while accelerating digital transformation.

NEC already offers VCF-based solutions through its BluStellar Scenario value-creation model and has begun delivering VCF as a managed service—known as NEC Private Cloud Infrastructure powered by VMware—providing customers with more agile cloud resources starting October 2025.
