VMware Cloud on AWSOverview
5
For some customers, hybrid is the preferred operating model
Customers are seeking an integrated and hybrid approach
As customers move to the
cloud, they are looking for
ways to get the best of both
worlds without buying new
hardware, refactoring or re-
platforming and leveraging
existing investments, skillsets,
and tools.
On-Premises Public Cloud
§ Scale faster
§ Reduce costs
§ Establish global footprint
§ Pay-as-you-go
§ Access broader range
of services
§ Use familiar tools
and processes
§ Leverage existing
investments
§ Maintain unique hardware
configurations
§ Have granular control over
placement of
apps and data

Moving to VMware Cloud on AWS
Customer Challenges
“We only need 30 hosts for compute but 50 hosts for storage”Food Services Company
“We want to move to VMware Cloud on AWS but need Petabytes of storage”
Media Company
“We want to use VMware Cloud on AWS for cost effective DR but have massive
storage requirements”Financial Services Company
“Our environment has tons of large databases but the compute is very small”

Use Cases for Cloud Volumes Service for VMware Cloud on AWS
24
Use Case 1: Storage Heavy Workloads
Petabyte Scale
Does not replace vSAN
3 Different Performance Tiers Available
Mix and Match Storage Tiers based on need and Performance
Extreme Storage is less per GB than VSAN when compute is not needed
Database Virtual Machine
OS Drive120GB
Database50TB
Backup100TB
ds03Extreme
ds01Standard

Use Case 2: Pilot Light Disaster Recovery Site
• Use HCX Disaster Recovery for Replication and Failover
• Keep Core Services Running in VMware Cloud on AWS on vSAN
• Scale to full production for testing or at disaster declaration by adding on-demand hosts
• Minimal vSAN rebalance times allows faster scalability both up and down
• Scale down post-testing or keep production in VMware Cloud on AWS and convert to subscription rates

Use Case 3: Protecting from an Availability Zone Failure
Cloud Volume Service sits outside the AWS Region
Re-Zone the same Datastores to another SDDC
No Data Replication needed to protect against AZ failure
Script Registration of VMs for shorter RTO

Use Case 4: Custom sizing for pCPU Application Licensing
Configure only the CPUs you Need (applied cluster wide)
Reduce per-core application licensing costs
Connect to Cloud Volumes Service Datastores to augment the storage to meet application needs
Storage is available for access by all clusters
Regular Cluster “Custom” Cluster
