Customers often view public clouds as a means to gain the agility to respond to changing business needs or accelerate innovation and align costs. While some customers will be completely based in the public cloud, the reality for many customers, if not most, is that they will have a mix of private infrastructure models and public clouds – having the option and ability to integrate the two into a hybrid cloud is a goal many customers are seeking to achieve. To help establish a better understanding of how customers can derive value from a hybrid cloud-based approach, we’ve created an infographic covering the benefits from hybrid cloud integration. Here’s the three key ways VMware Cloud on AWS is the best-in-class hybrid cloud solution for your enterprise:
Last October, when VMware unveiled a strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), many in the tech industry were surprised. The two companies, once spirited competitors, announced they were collaborating on a new hybrid cloud solution called VMware Cloud on AWS.
This year at VMworld Barcelona we provided a technical preview of the VMware Cloud on AWS service. With this partnership, we’re bringing the most trusted private cloud and the most used public cloud together for a seamless and integrated software-defined data center experience. It allows customers to use VMware’s proven tools on AWS’ global footprint.
Earlier this year, VMware and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced a strategic alliance to build and deliver a seamlessly integrated hybrid offering that will give customers the full software-defined data center (SDDC) experience from the leader in the private cloud, running on the world’s most popular, trusted, and robust public cloud. VMware Cloud™ on AWS will enable customers to run applications across VMware vSphere®-based private, public, and hybrid cloud environments.
Thank you for all the great feedback since we announced our partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) on October 13! We have seen a lot of interest for VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC) from customers, partners, industry analysts, and social media. Following on from the announcement in San Francisco, we went on to Barcelona for VMworld Europe, and had multiple sold out sessions with our customers and partners in attendance. The #VMWonAWS hashtag on Twitter was pretty active as well, and we had our hands full answering all your questions!
Today, VMware and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are announcing a strategic partnership providing the ability to run a full VMware Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) as a cloud service on AWS. This service will include all the enterprise tools you’re familiar with including vSphere, ESXi, VSAN and NSX. This article provides a technical preview of the new service VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC), allowing me to give you a sneak peak of the incredibly cool stuff that is coming.
