1 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,770 - Now let's talk about VMware Cloud on AWS. 2 00:00:10,770 --> 00:00:13,070 With VMware Cloud on AWS, 3 00:00:13,070 --> 00:00:18,070 we have the ability to access an integrated solution 4 00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:21,070 developed by AWS and VMware. 5 00:00:21,070 --> 00:00:23,690 So AWS and VMware got together and said hey, 6 00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:24,810 there's some synergy here. 7 00:00:24,810 --> 00:00:27,790 There's a lot of people still using VMware, 8 00:00:27,790 --> 00:00:30,980 a lotta people that still want to continue using it, 9 00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:32,560 but at the same time, 10 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,500 want to leverage the extensibility 11 00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,320 or the ability to expand into AWS 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,930 and gain the benefits of AWS as well. 13 00:00:41,930 --> 00:00:45,070 And so this allows us 14 00:00:45,070 --> 00:00:49,700 to either migrate our vSphere-based environments to AWS 15 00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:54,700 or simply extend those existing vSphere environments 16 00:00:55,140 --> 00:00:56,540 that we already have. 17 00:00:56,540 --> 00:01:00,610 And so by doing that, by extending our existing environment 18 00:01:00,610 --> 00:01:05,210 into AWS, we still get a single pane of glass 19 00:01:05,210 --> 00:01:08,500 across both on premises and AWS, 20 00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:09,570 allowing us to manage 21 00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:12,573 those existing vSphere-based environments. 22 00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:16,670 Now it is worth noting that this is sold, delivered 23 00:01:16,670 --> 00:01:19,290 and supported by VMware. 24 00:01:19,290 --> 00:01:21,830 So in order for us to sign up for this 25 00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:23,500 and to start using this, 26 00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,973 we go directly to VMware in order to make this happen. 27 00:01:28,850 --> 00:01:32,600 And so when we provision VMware on AWS, 28 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,600 this is launched on bare metal, single tenant environments. 29 00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:43,030 And so it means that we can continue using 30 00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:45,460 all of the tools that we've come to rely on, 31 00:01:45,460 --> 00:01:50,460 such as vSphere, vSAN, NSX and vCenter Server. 32 00:01:51,580 --> 00:01:56,300 So for those of us who have significant environments 33 00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:58,540 that are already based on vSphere 34 00:01:58,540 --> 00:02:00,620 and we want to continue using those, 35 00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:04,263 VMware Cloud on AWS is a really great option.
