As you reach for the cloud to extend your IT base, VMC on AWS enables you to run your applications across vSphere-based private, public, and hybrid cloud environments, with optimised access to AWS services. But, like anything new, it also brings change with it; new skills, working practices, and integration between your existing environment and the cloud. You might want some help getting started.
We have a long and successful history with VMware solutions and hold the Master Service Competency accreditation for VMC on AWS. Leveraging this, our IT services team has worked with VMware, AWS and our customers to understand what it takes to build a successful base with VMC on AWS and the skills you need to adopt it into everyday IT operations.
Our service is delivered by a cross-certified VMware and AWS technical professional who starts by assessing your target environment’s readiness for VMC on AWS, before architecting your move and implementing it; including the migration of five low risk workloads to your new environment. Once implemented they run a handover session with you before our operations team onboard you for ongoing support.
