What is VMware Cloud?

VMware Cloud is an infrastructure that helps operate, manage, connect and secure all applications on any cloud, giving the end-user the utmost flexibility in cloud computing.

VMware workloads can be run by any cloud service provider, such as Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure; however, VMware’s own solution is known as ‘VMware Cloud on AWS’.

What is VMware Cloud on AWS?

VMware Cloud on AWS is a combined cloud solution of AWS and VMware that provides a highly scalable, secure and innovative service that enables businesses to easily move and expand their existing on-premises infrastructure.

VMware and AWS enable businesses to migrate to the hybrid cloud more quickly, easily and affordably, while also modernising applications via collaborative designed solutions.

What is VMware Cloud Foundation?

VMware Cloud Foundation is a cloud service platform that combines Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) technology with a cloud management system.

It is VMware’s most advanced hybrid cloud platform, offering software-defined storage, networking, security and cloud management services for business applications running in private or public domains.

Benefits of VMware Cloud

VMware Cloud has numerous benefits for businesses that want to move their data, applications and resources onto the cloud.

No staff training required - there is no need or requirement to train staff as it looks and feels like your existing desktop, so there is nothing new to learn.

Rapid time - VMware delivers rapid time and has fast disaster recovery time, making down-time much shorter.

Increase in free time - VMware is able to upkeep the infrastructure, so there is no need to manage any of it, allowing businesses to focus on tasks and jobs.

Security - disruption and security breaches are minimised by extending on-premise security and operational rules to the cloud server.
