Migrating and running VMware in the cloud has never been easier—or more cost effective. Compute and storage are independent in the cloud with an integrated solution built on NetApp® ONTAP® storage software managed by the AWS Management Console. I chatted with Alex de Gruiter, staff cloud architect from VMware and Sumit Kalia, data management & storage specialist from AWS, about what this means for customers and partners and the uptake of this new solution in Australia and New Zealand.
NetApp, VMware, and AWS
Virtualization of workloads is popular across various industries. And with VMware customers looking to move to the cloud, many adopted VMware Cloud on AWS as a solution when it launched in 2017. Customers who now want to build their next-generation applications in the cloud are able to modernize their application on AWS, while maintaining a consistent infrastructure that is compatible with their on-premises vSphere environment. Adding NetApp into the mix, they can now scale the storage environment as needed without having to purchase additional host instances.
