VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts
Bringing the Power of VMware and AWS to Your Data Center
Accelerate innovation, increase agility and streamline operations with a fully-managed VMware Cloud experience in your data center.
VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts is a jointly engineered on-premises as-a-service offering, powered by VMware Cloud Foundation. It integrates VMware's enterprise-class Software-Defined Data Center software that runs on next-generation, dedicated, elastic Amazon EC2 bare-metal infrastructure, delivered on-premises with optimized access to local and remote AWS cloud services.
Cloud Model On-Premises
- Leverage simplified public cloud-like consumption model on-premises with access to native AWS services
- Choose from AWS Nitro-based EC2 Metal servers with local SSD storage as well as AWS Elastic Block Storage(EBS)
- Scale capacity elastically in days/weeks as per your needs
- Switch from cap-ex to op-ex financing model and optimize your infrastructure costs
Automated Infrastructure Management
- Leverage VMware managed infrastructure with automated lifecycle management
- Get scheduled SDDC software updates and emergency software patches with notifications and continuous monitoring delivered as-a-service from VMware
- Leverage proactive monitoring, auto-remediation/fixes by AWS for any hardware issues
Consistent Infrastructure and Operations
- Continue using familiar VMware tools and skillsets to manage your vSphere environments across hybrid cloud
- Reduce risks, costs and time of migration by eliminating the need to rewrite applications or modify the operating models
- Integrate with your ecosystem of VMware and 3rd party tools just the way you do in your on-premises data center

Local Cloud
Leverage cloud model for those applications that need to remain on-premises such as applications with low latency or local data processing needs or composite applications tightly integrated with existing enterprise backend systems. Build modern on-premises applications by integrating with local or regional AWS services or by leveraging Kubernetes enabled next-gen infrastructure.
Data Center Modernization
Accelerate data center modernization by leveraging automated infrastructure lifecycle management. Optimize overall infrastructure and operating costs by shifting from cap-ex. to op-ex. financing model. Also, modernize your Virtual Desktop Infrastructure for workloads that need to remain near end user and backend systems.
Flexible Capacity
Instead of long hardware procurement cycles, elastically scale your on-premises infrastructure in days/weeks or seamlessly extend your infrastructure capacity on-demand to VMware Cloud on AWS for burst capacity or DR needs. Expand IT infrastructure to new regions. Accelerate infrastructure consolidation after M&A activities.
