VMware Cloud on AWS’s Slice of the Off-Premises Private PieCategory: Software, Business, Database, Data
Enterprises accelerated their adoption of public clouds as the decade progressed, but well more than half of the organizations The New Stack contacted this summer still require at least some of their cloud services to be provided on-premises. At this latest cloud crossroads, 59% of IT professionals are running workloads in an off-premises private cloud according to previously unreported data from the “Faction 2020 VMware Cloud on AWS Market Survey.”
While private off-premises clouds are common, only 7% of respondents run VMware Cloud on AWS, which means that at least half of all VMware users are running an off-premises private cloud with an alternative approach like Amazon VPC.
In 2019, 55% of respondents with an off-premises private cloud were either using or considering the VMware on AWS offering, but that dropped to 45%, at least partly because of an uptick in people that had evaluated and rejected the option. VMware Cloud on AWS is often being considered as part of a larger strategic IT initiative that may include closing older data centers to save money.
