Moving Software-Defined Data Centers to Cloud

It’s no secret that the demands on government IT are growing. Citizens want more from digital services. Agencies adopt new technologies to keep pace and deliver those services, but then new systems create new demands of their own. They create more data; require more compute, networking and storage resources; and they add to the complexity of government networks.

To meet these challenges, agencies are leveraging software-defined data centers and placing them in partnered clouds. This course explains the value of VMware software-defined data centers and why they are best leveraged in the AWS Cloud. We also walk through steps to get started in your migration.
