Enterprises need an easier way to migrate their complex workloads to the cloud in a cost-effective, secure, efficient manner. Recent changes in compliance require organizations to ensure that their data is private and sovereign.

With VMware Cloud on AWS, enterprises can seamlessly migrate workloads from on-premises to the cloud without the need for application re-architecture or conversion. Now, using Equinix and AWS Direct Connect, organizations have the ability to improve performance by building a digital edge—closest to users, clouds and networks—on a global interconnection platform.

Using VMware Cloud on AWS and Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric™ (ECX Fabric™) on Platform Equinix®, customers can manage complex hybrid cloud issues, such as:

• Disaster recovery: Granularly protect on-premises workloads with cost effective full or partial disaster recovery (DR) and backup in the cloud.
• Workload migration: Migrate workloads from a simple vSphere platform on-premises to a fully software-defined data center in VMware Cloud on AWS.
• Data center extension (hybrid cloud): Extend a data center on-premises to VMware Cloud on AWS. Expand geographic reach and meet on-demand capacity or seasonal demand spikes.
• Hybrid applications: Gain the ability to freely move your applications between on-premises and cloud.
