VMware and Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company have
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. Delivered, sold, and supported by VMware
as an on-demand, elastically scalable service, VMware Cloud on AWS will allow
VMware customers to use their existing. VMware software and tools to leverage
AWS’s global footprint and breadth of services, including storage, databases,
analytics and more. For more information on VMware Cloud on AWS, visit VMware Cloud on AWS.
Most enterprises rely on VMware to run applications in their
vSphere-based private clouds, and often these same customers are also running
applications on AWS. Increasingly, these customers have asked both companies to
make it easier to run their existing on-premises environments alongside AWS
using the VMware software and tools they’ve come to rely on.
VMware Cloud on AWS is a jointly architected solution that will
integrate the world’s leading private cloud and the world’s leading public
cloud. VMware Cloud on AWS is powered by VMware Cloud Foundation™, a unified
SDDC platform that integrates VMware vSphere, VMware Virtual SAN and NSX
virtualization technologies, and will provide access to the full range of AWS
services, together with the functionality, elasticity, and security customers
have come to expect from the AWS Cloud. This new service represents a
significant investment in engineering, operations, support, and sales resources
from both companies. It will run on next-generation, elastic, bare metal AWS
infrastructure. Customers will have the ability to purchase services through
their existing VMware commercial agreement and use their existing VMware
software investments to secure additional loyalty discounts for their VMware
Cloud on AWS hybrid environment.
“VMware Cloud on AWS offers our customers the best of both
worlds,” said Pat Gelsinger, CEO, VMware. “This new service will make it easier
for customers to preserve their investment in existing applications and
processes while taking advantage of the global footprint, advanced
capabilities, and scale of the AWS public cloud.”
“Our customers continue to ask us to make it easier for them to
run their existing data center investments alongside AWS,” said Andy Jassy,
CEO, AWS. “Most enterprises are already virtualized using VMware, and now with
VMware Cloud on AWS, for the first time, it will be easy for customers to
operate a consistent and seamless hybrid IT environment using their existing
VMware tools on AWS, and without having to purchase custom hardware, rewrite
their applications, or modify their operating model.”
Availability
Available in mid-2017, VMware Cloud on AWS will be delivered,
sold, and supported by VMware as an on-demand, elastically scalable service.
Pricing will be made available closer to the general availability date.
