Customers achieve seamless interoperability between on-premises
VMware and VMware Cloud on AWS

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CoreSite Realty Corporation (NYSE:COR), a premier provider of secure,
reliable, high-performance data center and interconnection solutions
across the U.S., continues to improve the blueprint for seamless
interoperability between on-premises VMware and VMware Cloud on AWS.
VMware Cloud on AWS brings together VMware’s enterprise-class
Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) software and elastic, bare-metal
infrastructure from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide organizations
with a consistent operating model and application mobility across
private and public cloud resources. Direct connectivity to VMware Cloud
on AWS is available through CoreSite’s Data Center fiber
interconnections or through the CoreSite
Open Cloud Exchange in four CoreSite markets, including Boston,
Denver,
New
York and Northern
Virginia.

With over 66% of all enterprises having VMware installed on-premise, an
adjacent hybrid cloud architecture can benefit these organizations by
providing seamless interoperability between on-premises VMware and
VMware Cloud on AWS environments allowing them to overcome some of the
cloud adoption barriers they face today.
