Gartner predicts hybrid clouds will be the most common cloud architecture by 2020. With AWS and VMware vSphere, companies have the ability to create a hybrid cloud architecture with ease. But what is the optimal storage architecture for a hybrid cloud? What’s the best way to build it? How do you guarantee your data will be highly-available and protected? This webinar covers: -Hybrid cloud architecture with AWS and vSphere -Use Cases: backup, disaster recovery and more -Demo: Learn how to replicate storage across vSphere and AWS -Common management interface across on-premises vSphere and AWS deployments

Hybrid Cloud = Better Outcomes

7. • 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
