Plus, you’ll simplify operations by turning to Rackspace as your single provider.
Leverage the VMware and AWS Ecosystem of Resources
External Storage
With Managed NetApp Cloud Volumes for VMware Cloud™ on AWS, you get a fully managed, globally available, cloud-attached storage solution that integrates natively as a datastore with VMC on AWS. Now you can deploy additional datastores in VMC on AWS that scale independently from compute. As your applications scale, you can manage compute and storage separately, just as if it were in your own data center — so you pay only for what you need, potentially reducing costs by up to 40% or more.
Three performance tiers give you the flexibility to find the right performance and price to fit the workload. As your applications scale, you can easily adjust — non-disruptively and on demand — to any one of the three performance tiers. Learn more.
