Posted on Thursday, November 30, 2017 by RICHARD HARRIS, Executive Editor

At AWS re:Invent 2017, VMware and Amazon Web Services(AWS) announced VMware Cloud on AWS is expanding availability from the U.S. West (Oregon) region to also include the AWS U.S. East (N. Virginia) region, and includes additional VMware capabilities and support for more AWS services, making it even easier for customers to move, run, and protect mission-critical applications at scale.

'The momentum for VMware Cloud on AWS is growing rapidly, and VMware and AWS are delivering major new capabilities after only three months of availability while enhancing our strategic relationship with new integrations across our platforms,' said Mark Lohmeyer, vice president and general manager, Cloud Platform Business Unit, VMware. 'Customers of VMware Cloud on AWS will be able to migrate application portfolios to the cloud even more rapidly with Hybrid Cloud Extension and AWS Direct Connect, while maintaining the optimal levels of performance, scale, and availability required for mission-critical apps.'

'We are pleased to extend availability of VMware Cloud on AWS to the AWS U.S. East region. Both teams have been really focused on quickly iterating to provide the capabilities that our customers have told us they want,' said Sandy Carter, vice president, Enterprise Workloads for Amazon Web Services. 'In addition to the availability, networking, and security features that will further support production workloads, we're excited to extend native integrations with AWS Direct Connect.'
