VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) has been recognized as a G2 Leader in the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) category for the Fall 2025 Report, underscoring its continued significance in the enterprise market. The platform earned strong marks in customer reviews across key categories, including ease of administration, reliability, and quality of support. This recognition is particularly notable because VCF’s strength lies in delivering a private cloud operating model that combines the scale and automation typically associated with public hyperscalers, while maintaining the security and architectural control of an on-premises environment.
This achievement highlights the continued critical importance of hybrid and private cloud solutions for organizations globally. VCF is designed to provide a consistent, unified operating model for both traditional virtual machines (VMs) and modern Kubernetes/AI workloads across diverse environments. Customer feedback specifically praised its ability to simplify complex lifecycle and centralized infrastructure management, allowing IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine maintenance.
The recognition affirms that the cloud services market is evolving significantly beyond pure public cloud adoption. VCF’s high ranking underscores the growing demand for enterprise-grade private/hybrid models that address use-cases like scalable edge deployments (extending cloud capabilities to where data is generated) and data sovereignty (meeting strict compliance and regulatory requirements by keeping data within national borders).
