AWS has announced the integration of Amazon Elastic VMware Service (EVS) with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, enabling customers to use FSx as a scalable, high-performance external datastore for VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environments.
This integration allows independent scaling of compute and storage, automated data tiering, and cost optimization. Customers running VMware with ONTAP on-premises can now easily migrate workloads to AWS while using the same tools and workflows.
It enhances support for use cases like VDI, databases, and business apps with advanced features like snapshots, replication, and cloning. Available now in all AWS Regions where both services are supported.
