VMware has extended its cloud services to the AWS Melbourne infrastructure region, following the launch by Amazon Web Services earlier this year. With the availability of VMware Cloud on AWS in both Sydney and Melbourne, customers now have the option to run VMware vSphere-based workloads in consistent hybrid cloud environments, benefiting from optimized access to native AWS services.
This expansion is expected to foster growth by providing customers with increased choices for running workloads with enhanced resilience, secure data storage in Australia, and reduced latency for improved performance.
MLC Life Insurance, based in Melbourne, is among the Australian companies leveraging VMware Cloud on AWS to streamline their operations and enhance their cloud capabilities. The move comes as VMware aims to strengthen its presence in the Australian market and cater to the rising demand for hybrid cloud solutions in the region.
