Hybrid Cloud with AWS

Run on-premises networking, security, storage, and access control infrastructure seamlessly alongside AWS to enable data center extension to the cloud, backup and disaster recovery to the cloud, and hybrid data processing.

Leverage existing investments in VMware tools and skills to easily and seamlessly migrate workloads to the AWS Cloud for agility and scalability.

Extend AWS to any data center, co-location space, on-premises datacenter so customers can utilize AWS infrastructure, APIs, services, and tools to run applications with low latency or local data processing requirements. And, deliver services like Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) on VMware so you can deploy managed databases in on-premises VMware environments using the Amazon RDS technology enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of AWS customers.

Run the same on-premises enterprise software in a hybrid model or the AWS cloud by leveraging AWS Marketplace and proven processes for migrating Windows-based workloads, SAP HANA and Oracle databases, and other ISV software to the cloud.

Many customers have operations in remote and disconnected environments, such as mines, ships, and windmills where they store data, but lack the resources to process and act on that data in a timely manner.

AWS has more compute, networking, storage, security and identity, data integration, management, monitoring, and operations services than any other cloud provider to help companies build hybrid cloud architectures for their specific use cases and requirements. Services, like Amazon VPC which allows you to provision a logically isolated, virtual network in AWS that is an extension of your on-premises network, AWS Direct Connect which allows you to establish private connectivity to AWS, and AWS Storage Gateway which allows your on-premises applications to use AWS cloud storage, make it as seamless as possible for customers to run their on-premises infrastructure alongside AWS.

Most companies run their on-premises workloads on VMware virtualization software and want to leverage their investment in VMware skills and tools as they start their move to the cloud. AWS is VMware’s primary cloud partner. VMware Cloud on AWS is a jointly engineered service by AWS and VMware, and is the only VMware hybrid cloud solution that is directly managed and supported by VMware. Customers can use the same VMware skills and tools to manage and run infrastructure on AWS’s cloud infrastructure platform.

Developers want to be able to build an application once and have the flexibility to deploy that application in the cloud, on-premises, or in a hybrid architecture with consistent performance. AWS Outposts bring native AWS services, infrastructure, and operating models to virtually any data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility. Unlike other on-premises hybrid cloud solutions that use different APIs, release cadence, manual updates, and third-party hardware and support, AWS Outposts are fully managed and supported by AWS. Customers can access the latest hardware and software and have a single point of support and service.
