VMware Cloud on AWS provides enterprises a simple, more secure, and flexible path to cloud and application modernization

core/paragraph

PALO ALTO, Calif., March 10, 2022 – VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VM) today announced the company is making it simpler for customers and partners to purchase and deploy VMware Cloud on AWS. Available immediately, VMware Cloud on AWS can be purchased by Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers in AWS Marketplace (<a href="https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-xmvd5maompqcy?sr=0-5&ref_=beagle&applicationId=AWSMPContessa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">listing</a>).

Through AWS Marketplace, VMware also offers flexible purchasing and consumption options to deploy and manage VMware Cloud on AWS, and complimentary solutions such as VMware vRealize Cloud Management and VMware Tanzu.

AWS Marketplace is a curated digital catalog that customers can use to find, buy, deploy, and manage third-party software, data, and services to build solutions and run their businesses. Organizations can now use their existing AWS Enterprise Discount Program agreements to consume VMware Cloud on AWS and other complementary VMware Cloud services to modernize their mission-critical enterprise apps on AWS.

VMware Cloud, which includes VMware cloud infrastructure and management, makes running enterprise vSphere apps in any cloud environment simpler and safer. Research shows VMware Cloud customers can achieve 300% faster Kubernetes deployment(1), 46% faster cloud migration(2), and 57% reduction in TCO(2). VMware Cloud on AWS brings VMware’s enterprise-class Software-Defined Data Center software to the AWS Cloud. It enables customers to run production applications across VMware vSphere-based hybrid cloud environments, with optimized access to AWS. Jointly engineered by VMware and AWS, this on-demand service enables information technology (IT) teams to seamlessly extend, migrate, and manage their cloud-based resources with familiar VMware tools.

“Customers and partners alike are moving fast to transform their digital businesses,” said Zia Yusuf, senior vice president, strategic ecosystem, and industry solutions at VMware. “Consuming services through a digital catalog like AWS Marketplace is critical to operating at cloud speed. By working with AWS, our preferred public cloud partner for vSphere-based workloads, we’re delivering on our promise to make purchasing and consuming VMware Cloud services as fast and simple as possible.”

“The AWS and VMware relationship continues to deliver a fast, easy, and cost-effective path to the cloud while enabling customers to modernize applications,” said Stephen Orban, General Manager, AWS Marketplace, and Control Services at AWS. “This is why VMware Cloud on AWS is our preferred service for vSphere workloads. With more than four years of joint engineering, we’re pleased that we can take our work to another level by making a broad set of VMware services available to our customers via AWS Marketplace.”

DXC Technology helps global companies run their mission critical systems and operations while modernizing IT, optimizing data architectures, and ensuring security and scalability across public, private and hybrid clouds. Together, with decades of systems integration, managed services experience, and the proven enterprise-class VMware Cloud on AWS service, DXC drives innovation and delivers cost efficiencies through a Cloud Right™ strategy for customers.

“As an AWS Strategic Global Systems Integrator and Premier Consulting Partner, DXC was the first to launch a multi-tenant cloud using VMware on AWS in Australia, better accommodating VMware estates of all sizes,” said Vinod Bagal, Executive Vice President Cloud and ITO, at DXC Technology. “VMware’s availability on AWS Marketplace will help us extend this innovative capability to our customers globally.”

VMware Cloud on AWS continues to attract large interest from customers globally. A broad range of organizations of all sizes and across all industries including healthcare, media and entertainment, transportation, financial services, manufacturing, oil and gas, government, education, professional services, and technology are customers of the service.

Kem One is the second-largest PVC manufacturer in Europe. Jean-Yves Pottier, Head of IT Infrastructure at Kem One, said, “Migration of our information system to VMware Cloud on AWS was completed in just a few months. We are now saving 26% on our infrastructure costs and have improved our agility, all without a moment’s impact on our 900 users. VMware Cloud on AWS gives us a modern public cloud environment where we can take advantage of our existing VMware tools and skills while also accessing a variety of native AWS capabilities.”

California State University, East Bay is part of the 23-campus public California State University system. Jake Hornsby, Chief Innovation Officer at CSU East Bay, said, “We faced a number of drivers that made us want to move more quickly to the cloud. We needed to modernize our systems, better support remote and distance learning, and improve our overall continuity of operations plan. VMware Cloud on AWS checked all of the boxes for us. We were able to change the ‘where’ without changing the ‘how’ in terms of running IT operations. Now we operate more like a strategic IT service provider using cloud and SaaS to deliver a better technology experience to students and staff at lower costs.”

VMware is a leading provider of multi-cloud services for all apps, enabling digital innovation with enterprise control. As a trusted foundation to accelerate innovation, VMware software gives businesses the flexibility and choice they need to build the future.

We are officially in our third chapter as a company, but VMware’s mission remains the same: to deliver the trusted foundation to accelerate our customers’ innovation. We do this by providing the multi-cloud platform for all apps, enabling digital innovation and enterprise control. 

Our path to becoming the “cloud Switzerland” of the industry is resonating with customers and partners, and the journey began with our AWS partnership. It’s through this partnership that the power of “AND” first emerged as a North Star for our strategy. Could customers gain the agility, flexibility, and cost benefits of public cloud AND have the control required of enterprise apps? Turns out they can.

Four years into the partnership and things continue to accelerate. VMware Cloud on AWS is available in 19 global regions. There are now more and different options for consuming VMware Cloud on AWS. And, we’ve delivered new services specifically targeting Local Cloud, Government Cloud, and Telco Cloud environments. Best of all, customers have the choice to buy these services direct from VMware, or AWS, or one of our resellers. And this is just for the customers looking for the fastest path to migrate and modernize Tier 1 vSphere-based enterprise apps. In this same time, VMware Cross-Cloud services have grown into a portfolio of services that enable customers to modernize, optimize, connect and protect their native AWS environments.

The power of "AND" will be on display this week at AWS re:Invent, where we’re continuing to advance key initiatives that support AWS customers. Take a listen to VMware President Sumit Dhawan outline our strategy and the AWS partnership, and catch up on what's new at VMware for AWS customers at the show.

When organizations talk about digital services, often the conversation turns to “born in the cloud” apps. However, Tier 1 enterprise applications residing on premises are often the life blood of an enterprise. Regardless of where an app was created, all apps benefit from modern infrastructure. This is what VMware Cloud on AWS delivers enterprise-class infrastructure combined with public cloud scale and economics, delivered as a service almost anywhere in the world. At re:Invent, we will showcase new innovations and consumption options, as well as continued expansion of the VMware Cloud on AWS GovCloud service.

VMware Tanzu Powers Developers on AWS

With a vast ecosystem of cloud native technologies to choose from, developers and operators alike can be overwhelmed and overburdened as they grapple with every step from iterative coding to applications running in production. VMware Tanzu simplifies the cloud native journey, enabling customers to accelerate their cloud adoption and consumption by efficiently evolving apps and infrastructure from on-premises to AWS, to deliver value faster with a streamlined developer experience for Amazon EKS more efficiently and securely. At re:Invent, VMware Tanzu will release several key new product updates to help customers make the most of the public cloud.

Cloud transformation has become a business imperative for Communication Service Providers eager to increase agility, build digital resilience, foster innovation, and deliver new 5G services. Operators are increasingly looking to multi-cloud environments, recognizing the benefit of having their public clouds integrate and work seamlessly with their on-premises infrastructure and taking advantage of their existing skillsets, tools and processes. VMware has simplified this process for our customers with VMware Cloud on AWS and our Telco Cloud Platform.

VMware Cross-Cloud services offer distinct advantages to both IT operators and developers working in AWS. These advantages include accelerating application modernization, migrating workloads faster to the cloud, adopting a cloud operating model for their entire organization, and more securely and efficiently connecting a distributed workforce to cloud-based resources. VMware recently announced the company is making it easier for AWS customers to purchase and deploy VMware Cross-Cloud services to support their AWS environments. Our expanded presence in AWS Marketplace is another proof point of our focus on meeting customers where they are at by delivering value for the strategic cloud environment of their choice.
