VMware has announced that VMware Cloud on AWS is now accessible in Bahrain.
The service was launched in the AWS Middle East (Bahrain) region in February and enables customers in Bahrain to move their workloads across VMware cloud environments while enjoying optimised access to AWS services.
VMware Cloud on AWS will support organisations in Bahrain with their digitalisation plans and improve their ability to innovate.
The service utilises VMware’s enterprise-class Software-Defined Data Center software on AWS bare metal infrastructure, enabling the secure and scalable running of enterprise workloads on both virtual machines and containers. It also comes with built-in Kubernetes and optimised access to over 200 native AWS services, including data, analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, to support pragmatic application modernisation.
“Through this collaboration with AWS, we are helping to drive adoption of reliable, more secure and cost-effective cloud computing amongst organisations in Bahrain,” said Ahmed Auda, VP, METNA Sub-Region, VMware.
“Together we are helping to empower organisations to increase their efficiency and agility, while also helping to position them to deploy modern applications, which will in turn support the digital transformation aims of Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030.”
ICT is increasingly viewed as a pillar of Bahrain’s economic diversification, with the country’s Economic Development Board (EDB) attracting $98 million (BHD37 million) worth of Direct Investments from 14 prominent international companies in its Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector in the first 3 quarters of 2022.
