From on-premises VMware to the AWS cloud

Why now?

Although most organisations have a long history with on-premises VMware, IT teams increasingly discover that although they want to take advantage of the AWS cloud’s benefits, they lack the migration expertise to help them achieve that goal.

VMware Cloud on AWS provides a bridge between the local data centre and the cloud. It enables a hybrid infrastructure that organisations can manage efficiently, allowing workloads to be moved seamlessly, with consistent administration for both on-premises and AWS VMs.

This paper looks at the drivers for VMware cloud migration to AWS and offers strategic advice on what to do, how to do it, and who to turn to for expert help every step of the way.
