AWS and VMware are not an either/or decision. Almost every enterprise is looking to leverage AWS in addition to their existing VMware virtualized environments. They want to choose the right venue for each application and move applications between VMware and AWS as their business needs dictate.
In this webinar, you’ll hear how RightScale helps customers to successfully implement and manage hybrid environments that span AWS, VMware vSphere and other clouds.
In this webinar we will:
-5 common use cases for hybrid environments
-Why VMware isn’t the same as a cloud, and what to do about it
-Architecture considerations for hybrid environments
-Is portability a possibility or a pipe dream?
-Demo of a single-pane-of-glass to manage hybrid environments
10. 5 Use Cases for Hybrid
Best Venue
•Geography, Cost, Features
Life Cycle
•Dev/Test vs Stage/Prod
•Spikey vs Steady-state load
Disaster Recovery

Variable
load
Seasonality
Traditional on-premise provisioning
18. •Have you accounted for all your costs?
•Are your loads steady-state?
•Will usage of steady-state loads change in the future? Seasonality? Growth?
•How much do you need to overprovision on-premise infrastructure to cover spikes?
•What is the value of agility and flexibility?
•What is affinity for CapEx vs OpEx?
