AWS and VMware vSphere Overview
• Increase Speed & Agility • No Need to Guess Capacity • Lower Variable Expense more than internal costs • Move from CapEx to OpEx • Go global in minutes • Increase Innovation when costs of failure approach zero • Focus on business not undifferentiated heavy lifting • AWS Innovation • AWS Security
Benefits of AWS

Benefits:• Fully Customizable• Robust
Management• Secure by Design
Benefits:• Low Entry
Cost• Pay As You Go• Highly Elastic
vSphere Private Cloud
AWS Public CloudBenefits: Maximize Returns on Existing IT
Investments Match Workloads to Best-Fit
Infrastructure Meet Capacity without Increasing
CapEx Highly Scalable: Add New
Capabilities Quickly
Hybrid Cloud = Better Outcomes
• Disaster Recovery– Use public cloud as a backup DR site
• Backup & Archiving– Create real-time backups in the public cloud– Data can be moved to the public cloud as needed to save on costs and
remove the need to build new data centers• On-Premise Gateway to AWS Cloud
– Run your most important applications on your private cloud– Older applications with less use can be run on public clouds at a lower cost– Develop new apps on the public cloud at a reduced cost and move them to
your private cloud when ready for deployment– IT remains in control of when and where applications are deployed
Common Hybrid Cloud Use Cases

Use Case: Hybrid On-Premise Storage Gateway to AWS
Challenge:• Major publishing
company has performance-sensitive applications that need local LANs
• Need off-site protection and/or capacity
Solution:• On-premise virtual
appliance• Replication,
snapshotting or back-up to AWS
• Capacity expansion to AWS
