VMware Cloud On AWS ready for SA next year

With VMware building out its Cloud across AWS regions, it is only a matter of time before the service arrives in South Africa, writes ARTHUR GOLDSTUCK

VMware also announced Cloud Director, a new solution that will enable VMware Cloud on AWS managed service providers (MSPs) to better address the requirements of small- and medium-sized businesses. 

The company said in a statement: “VMware Cloud Director brings multi-tenant capabilities to VMware Cloud on AWS, allowing MSPs to share VMware Cloud on AWS instances and the overall costs, across multiple tenants. VMware Cloud Director service will provide cross-site networking capabilities with existing vCloud Director infrastructures, thereby creating a hyper-distributed provider management plane. Cloud providers will have the ability to slice and dice VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC resources, and have fine-grained control of resource allocation and consumption. Cloud providers will also be able to offer customers with a custom branded user experience.” 

Availability

The following capabilities are expected to be available in VMware by 31 January 2020: VMware Cloud on AWS availability in AWS EU (Stockholm) Region, VMware PKS with VMware Cloud on AWS, HCX OS Assisted Migration, HCX cross-SDDC, and inter-cloud migration. VMware Cloud Director service is expected to be in beta by then.
