United States public sector agencies and private sector customers in highly regulated industries want a hybrid cloud service that provides consistent infrastructure and operations across their on-premises and cloud environments to further increase agility and security, while maximizing the use of existing IT investments. The infrastructure supporting these workloads needs to have the scale, performance, availability and hardened security to run highly sensitive government workloads. Government agencies also views public clouds as a way to deliver a higher level of service by managing upfront expenses, operational support and TCO.

However, when considering shifting a on-premises system to the cloud for workloads and sensitive data, government agencies have several concerns, including performance, security, budget, and complexity of refactoring and training for staff.

The solution is VMware Cloud™ on AWS GovCloud (US), powered by VMware Cloud Foundation™, the unified VMware SDDC platform that integrates VMware vSphere®, VMware Virtual SAN™ and VMware NSX™ virtualization technologies. This service is optimized to run on dedicated, elastic, bare-metal AWS infrastructure to protect highly sensitive government workloads with hardened security. VMware Cloud on AWS GovCloud (US) enables government IT and operations teams to continue to add value to their organizations in AWS GovCloud (US), while maximizing their VMware investments, without the need to buy new hardware. This offering enables government agencies to quickly and confidently scale up or down for capacity requirements, without change or friction, for any workload with access to native AWS cloud services.

Jointly engineered by VMware and AWS, this on-demand, scalable service enables IT teams to seamlessly extend, migrate, protect and manage their cloud-based resources with familiar VMware tools. With the same architecture and operational experience on-premises and in the cloud, US public sector IT teams can now quickly derive instant value through the AWS and VMware hybrid cloud experience while meeting the most stringent security and compliance requirements.
