VMware and Amazon Web Services are beefing up capabilities of their joint attack on the enterprise hybrid cloud market – called VMware Cloud on AWS — including a new disaster recovery-as-a-service offering for enterprises with on-premises data centers and a new availability region.
The two companies, which launched the cloud service in August with initial availability in Amazon cloud’s US West region (hosted in data centers in Oregon), announced today that they have expanded the service to AWS US East region in Northern Virginia – the cloud leader’s largest (and still relentlessly expanding) availability region in terms of data center capacity.
