Together, we are helping customers move quickly and non-disruptively to the cloud with compatibility and operational consistency across their existing VMware deployments. And once workloads are running in VMware Cloud on AWS, the service can deliver significant ongoing savings by optimizing resource utilization while ensuring better workload availability, protecting against today’s complicated and dangerous lateral threats, and enabling the next generation of modern applications.”
