Amazon Web Services (AWS) has unveiled Amazon Elastic VMware Service (EVS), a cloud offering that brings Broadcom’s VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) to the AWS platform. This new service allows businesses to quickly deploy private cloud environments powered by VMware’s suite on AWS infrastructure.
Amazon EVS enables organizations to set up a VCF environment in just a few hours. It lets users extend on-premises networks, migrate workloads without changing IP addresses, and maintain operational continuity with minimal retraining. The service is designed to simplify the adoption of VMware solutions within AWS.
VMware Cloud Foundation includes tools for virtualization, management, and automation. Broadcom markets VCF as a private cloud solution, focusing on dedicated hosting for its workloads. AWS enhances this offering by integrating it with native cloud services. This allows businesses to optimize existing applications while transitioning to modern frameworks over time.
The partnership strengthens Broadcom’s position as a leader in private cloud solutions. Broadcom has expanded VCF’s presence across major cloud providers, including Oracle and Microsoft. For AWS, this collaboration enhances its VMware offerings and caters to enterprise customers who require flexibility in managing private cloud environments.
By launching EVS, AWS offers customers a powerful tool for scaling their operations while providing a gateway to modernize their IT strategies. This partnership showcases the potential of blending traditional virtualization with advanced cloud capabilities. Businesses can now achieve greater efficiency and flexibility in their cloud journeys.
