Are you confused between on-site systems and the cloud? It’s a common dilemma for many businesses. It is like being stuck between the familiar and the unknown.
But what if there was a solution that combined the best of both?
That’s where VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC) comes in. It enables organisations to seamlessly extend their on-premises data centres to the cloud while retaining the familiar VMware environment. It’s like having your office setup’s reliability with the cloud’s flexibility.
Let’s explore how VMC makes hybrid cloud simple and effective for businesses like yours.
VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC on AWS) offers dedicated cloud environments using VMware technology within Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. Each environment called a Software Defined Data Center (SDDC), has exclusive resources for enhanced security and performance.
These SDDCs are managed by VMware within their AWS account, ensuring seamless integration with AWS services while maintaining billing separation for customer peace of mind.
Now, let’s explore the features of VMware Cloud on AWS.
Let’s delve into the key features that make VMC on AWS the ultimate game-changer:
Elastic DRS: With the help of Elastic Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), your workload scales automatically in response to changing demands. There is no need for manual adjustments; it’s like having a dynamic, self-adjusting system that optimises your resources.
Direct Connect: Need a fast and secure connection between your on-premises data center and VMC on AWS? Direct Connect is the answer. It ensures low-latency, secure communication between your environments.
Hybrid Cloud Flexibility: Want the best of both worlds – the control of on-premises infrastructure and the agility of the cloud? VMC on AWS offers true hybrid cloud flexibility, allowing you to seamlessly migrate, extend, and run your VMware workloads in the cloud.
High Availability: When it comes to your critical workloads, downtime is not an option. With VMC on AWS, you get high availability features that ensure your applications are resilient to failures.
Operational Consistency: Say goodbye to the learning curve. VMC on AWS maintains operational consistency with your existing VMware environment, making it easy for your IT teams to manage your hybrid cloud infrastructure.
Integration with AWS Services: Need to tap into the full power of AWS? VMC on AWS seamlessly integrates with various AWS services, such as Amazon RDS for databases, Amazon S3 for storage, and AWS Lambda for serverless computing. It’s like having a Swiss Army knife of cloud services at your disposal.
VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC) offers benefits that can streamline your operations and boost efficiency. Let’s discuss some of them:
Agility: With VMC on AWS, provisioning new resources is quick and easy, allowing you to scale to meet changing demands rapidly. It’s like having a supercharged engine that propels your business forward at lightning speed.
Logical Extension of Your Environment: Once hybrid Link Mode is set up, your VMC becomes a logical extension of your on-premises data centre, enabling seamless migration of workloads between environments. It’s like having a bridge that connects two worlds, allowing you to move freely between them.
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS): Disaster strikes? No need to panic. With DRaaS in VMC on AWS, you can quickly recover your critical workloads and data, ensuring business continuity even in adversity.
Cost Savings: Moving your data centre to the cloud can save on traditional colocation costs or building expenses. With VMC on AWS, you only pay for the resources you use, eliminating the need for over-provisioning and idle resources.
In closing, VMware’s partnership with AWS has made the vision of “Any app, any cloud” a reality after years of development. While cost may be a concern initially, VMware in AWS relieves IT departments, transitioning from heavy upfront investments to manageable operational expenses.
Its seamless integration and familiar tools also ease the transition for vSphere administrators. With a 30-day trial option at a reasonable price, businesses can explore its benefits firsthand. In today’s IT landscape, VMware in AWS is more than just a service; it’s about positioning your organisation for innovation and growth.
