INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY: CONNECTIVITY

New service enables customers to run VMware workloads on AWS without re-platforming, delivering faster migrations, operational agility and the security, reliability and performance benefits of AWS.

Amazon EVS lets customers run VMware Cloud Foundation on AWS without having to re-platform or refactor their applications. With Amazon EVS, customers can use familiar VMware tools to control and customize their virtualization stack, while realizing the security, reliability and performance benefits of AWS for their VMware workloads.

This flexibility has already proven valuable for organizations in Latin America, where public and private sector leaders are using Amazon EVS to modernize infrastructure while maintaining operational continuity.

Alcaldía de Cali is the municipal government of Santiago de Cali, Colombia’ s third-largest city, providing data-driven services to its residents.

“ As part of our cloud-enabled strategy to strengthen public service delivery, Amazon Elastic VMware Service helped us migrate to AWS in just three weeks, while keeping 75 % of our workloads on VMware technology,” said Alexander Mondragon, Director of the Municipal Administrative Department of Information and Communication Technologies.

“ Working with AWS Partner Blend helped us to successfully execute this migration. The ability to be agile and deploy in less than 24 hours was critical to maintaining uninterrupted public services and improving delivery across healthcare, education, property management and payments, which ultimately helps us better serve the 2.2 million residents of Santiago de Cali.”
