CloudCheckr, the leading enterprise cloud management platform, announced CloudCheckr Migrate for VMware is available to customers of VMware Cloud on AWS. Launched today with initial availability in AWS US West (Oregon) region, 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 give organizations consistent operating model and application mobility for private and public cloud. CloudCheckr Migrate for VMware Migrate delivers free configuration optimization to customers of VMware Cloud on AWS.
Using Migrate in CloudCheckr for VMware, enterprise IT staff can simplify cloud configurations. With the Migrate feature, they can easily calculate the optimal configurations for running VMware vSphereÆ in the public cloud, aligning to any organization’s needs. The tool converts data center specifications into comparable clusters running the same workload on specialized instances within AWS. This outputs expected utilization levels for CPU, storage and memory, which shows the anticipated monthly AWS spend of any given configuration. This information equips VMware users to make critical cloud deployment decisions.
“When making decisions on how to configure your cloud ecosystem, there’s nothing more critical than data,” said Aaron Newman, CEO and co-founder at CloudCheckr. “We built Migrate to place ideal cloud configuration details right into the hands of VMware users.”
