This document discusses VMware Cloud on AWS, which provides a VMware Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) that runs on the AWS cloud infrastructure. It delivers the VMware vSphere, vSAN, and NSX capabilities as a service, allowing customers to run virtualized workloads identically both on-premises and in the AWS cloud. The solution aims to provide flexible consumption, operational consistency, enterprise-grade capabilities, and hybrid cloud capabilities to help customers address business challenges around budgets, operations, and cloud adoption.

VMware Cloud on AWS gives us that one, overall seamless
solution that we were looking for because it married up two key
technologies we have.

The Challenge
Cloud Transformation
Inadequate On-Prem DR Site
• Need a scalable and reliable DR solution
Business Outcomes
End-to-End DR from On-Prem to AWS
• Successful implement DR with multi-tier
applications with SQL
• Achieve end-to-end failover time within 12 mins
(RTO) with no IP change for 17 VMs including
AD/Citrix controller/App Controller/SQL
Two-tiered Approach for DR
• Leverage SRM and VMware Cloud on AWS for
mission-critical workloads
• Leverage Veritas NetBackup and S3 for non-
mission-critical workloads and rehydrate to
