Hybrid Cloud Extension will let customers move 100’s of applications from their data centers to VMware Cloud on AWS without any application downtime, application re-factoring and without the need to upgrade/transform their existing vSphere environments. The service will provide secure live migration (secure VMware vMotion), warm migration and cold migration to VMware Cloud on AWS over a WAN optimized hybrid interconnect whilst ensuring business continuity.
