VMware Cloud Foundation 5 (VCF 5) — Standard (per CPU)

VMware Cloud Foundation 5 Standard is Broadcom's integrated software stack delivering hybrid cloud infrastructure, management, and networking as a unified platform. It combines vSphere hypervisor, vSAN software-defined storage, NSX network virtualization, and vRealize cloud management capabilities in a single subscription model licensed per physical CPU.

VCF 5 Standard supports enterprises consolidating compute, storage, and networking operations across on-premises and cloud environments. The architecture enables software-defined data center (SDDC) deployments with native lifecycle management, policy-based security, and multi-tenant isolation. Standard edition targets mid-market organizations and cost-conscious enterprises optimizing operational efficiency without premium licensing tiers.

Deployed as 4-node minimum clusters or larger scale-out configurations, VCF 5 Standard runs production workloads including virtualized applications, containerized environments, and hybrid cloud extensions. The platform integrates with Broadcom's broader Cloud Foundation ecosystem for consistency across on-premises and cloud infrastructure.

Ideal for

• Hybrid cloud deployment with seamless workload portability between on-premises SDDC and Broadcom Cloud Foundation public cloud
• VMware contract renewal consolidation replacing discontinued standalone vSphere, vSAN, and NSX SKUs with unified per-CPU licensing
• Enterprise virtualization modernization with integrated networking, storage, and management eliminating point-product integration overhead
• Multi-tenant cloud infrastructure provisioning with NSX-based network segmentation and vRealize multi-cloud management
• Non-production lab and development environments leveraging full Cloud Foundation capabilities at standard tier economics
• Brownfield data center optimization through SDDC software-defined infrastructure consolidation and operational automation
