Key capabilities of VMware Cloud on AWS

  • Leverage predictable, high-performance compute, storage and networking delivered by vSphere, vSAN and NSX running on next-gen Nitro system-based Amazon EC2 elastic, bare-metal infrastructure.
  • Ensure application uptime through capabilities built directly in the service such as vSphere HA, DRS, auto host remediation, and Stretched Clusters for zero-RPO infrastructure availability.
  • Prevent the lateral spread of threats with dynamic policy-driven NSX micro-segmentation and distributed firewalls.

Digital transformation

It's nearly 3x more likely that a company is rated as a Digital Transformation Leader* when fully empowering employees.

*Pioneers plus leaders

Empowered employees

Empowered employees in firms who make apps available and highly accessible report:

  • 17% less time spent on manual processes
  • 16% increase in team collaboration
  • 16% faster decision making
Power performance

Empowered employees, compared to traditional employees, are more likely by nearly:

  • 5 x to report gain in personal productivity
  • 4 x to report their company us a more desirable place to work
  • 2 x to report that apps are very important in accelerating decision-making in the company
Enterprise level success

Empowered employees, compared to traditional employees, project for their firms:

  • 34% greater increase in effciency
  • Almost 2x the increase in service quality
  • HR efficiencies for recruiting (69%) and onboarding of new employees (59%)

Plus, 87% of all CIOs surveyed believe that digitally empowering their employees can drive at least 5% additional revenue growth over 3 years.

Misalignment

CIOs and employees share very different views, both in where their companies are versus peers in providing technology to employees, and about the availability, utility, and freedom to use employee technologies at work.

This indicates a degree of disappointment by employees, and a complacency in CIOs which can lead to a dangerous disconnect that may impact a firm’s performance.
