VMware on AWS: Getting cloud management done right

VMware on AWS: A match made in cloud heaven

Join host David Linthicum and guest Duncan Epping, Chief Technologist at VMware, as they discuss how running VMware on AWS can help organizations meet the challenges of managing cloud workloads more efficiently while enhancing security and agility. They also discuss how VMware can help deliver the consistency that companies need to manage their cross-cloud environments to meet their IT and business goals.

Disclaimer: As referenced in this podcast, “Amazon” refers to AWS (Amazon Web Services).

The great thing about [VMware] is that it allows you to create these blueprints, so it provides you a consistency in terms of what the applications look like, how they are provisioned, but also what’s the underlying virtual machine and the operating systems look like and how they are provisioned and configured, because that’s probably where lot of the challenges start arising.
