VMware Cloud on AWS allows customers to migrate VMware vSphere-based workloads to a VMware-managed SDDC running on AWS. But what’s the best way to manage migrating to AWS while minimizing disruption and maximizing return on investment? Learn how the “Eviden Approach” of addressing cloud migrations to VMware Cloud on AWS has been specifically developed and optimized to address complex cloud migrations.

In August 2023, AWS participated as a Global Diamond Sponsor at VMware Explore US 2023. Alongside AWS Partner VMware, the event highlighted our commitment to aiding customers in their digital transformation journey. From the AWS booth to sponsored sessions, our presence at VMware Explore showcased how customers can achieve a faster, safer, and more cost-effective cloud journey with VMware Cloud on AWS. Learn about the exciting announcements and access sessions on demand.

Last year, we announced Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP integration with VMware Cloud on AWS, and introduced support for single-Availability Zone deployments. Previously, AWS Transit Gateway has been a requirement of the solution, providing customers with flexibility with connecting their file systems to their VMware Cloud on AWS SDDCs. Now, we are excited to announce the removal of AWS Transit Gateway as a requirement from the solution. Instead, we are adding support for virtual private cloud (VPC) peering.

Monitoring and managing cloud-based resources is crucial for maintaining performance, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring the health of your infrastructure. Learn about the integration of Amazon CloudWatch with VMware Cloud on AWS with a focus on monitoring the workload of virtual machines. We’ll elaborate on the benefits of integrating CloudWatch with other AWS services as well as third-party services like ServiceNow ITSM tool and IBM Netcool.

The advent of automated infrastructure provisioning and cloud-based remote backup and recovery solutions has empowered organizations to embrace advanced data protection and backup strategies tailored for cloud-native workloads. Explore the architectural design and considerations customers should consider before adopting AWS Backup using private interface VPC endpoints (powered by AWS PrivateLink) to protect workloads running on VMware Cloud on AWS.

Organizations running Oracle Database on vSphere environments are looking for migration paths for the database and the best path for them. In this post, explore database migration paths to AWS from on-premises vSphere environments and the benefit of integrating VMware Cloud on AWS with AWS Cloud Databases. We’ll also discuss how each migration path helps customers streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve overall business agility.

VMware Cloud on AWS helps customers including enterprises, government entities, and startups migrate to the cloud 46% faster on average and at a 43% lower cost as compared to other solutions. AWS Partners that start a VMware Cloud on AWS practice can see anywhere from a 10-15% revenue lift in their overall services revenue. Learn how partners can grow their VMware Cloud on AWS practice through professional and managed services, modernization, AWS funding, and by expanding their customer base.

VMware Cloud on AWS customers have requirements to interconnect their SDDCs across different AWS regions, but existing network design patterns require you to build a full-mesh topology with static routing to provide multi-region connectivity for SDDCs. Learn how AWS Cloud WAN helps address VMware Cloud on AWS multi-region connectivity challenges and requirements, and review a reference architecture with a real example for integrating VMware Cloud on AWS with AWS Cloud WAN.

In on-premises data centers, VMware virtualization and NetApp ONTAP storage are widely adopted solutions. The release of Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and support for VMware Cloud on AWS give customers a new option for disaster recovery. Learn how these solutions allow for virtual machine data to be copied from an on-premises environment to AWS using NetApp SnapMirror. Once in AWS, the VMs can be imported into vCenter in a VMware Cloud on AWS environment used as a DR destination.

Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is a storage service that allows customers to launch and run fully managed ONTAP file systems in the cloud. Explore the benefits of single-Availability Zone deployments for FSx for NetApp datastores and review which workloads they are best suited for. Single-AZ file systems provide a lower-cost storage option for use cases that do not require the data resiliency model of a multi-AZ file system, while offering all of the same data management capabilities and features.
