VMware Runs Virtual Machines for Amazon’s Cloud Move
VM Import is the new service which will allow Amazon Web Services to import their internal data stored on hardware to the cloud. For this procedure, Amazon has teamed up with VMware, using API tools to locate the virtual machine image, and then will specify the amount of space needed on Amazon cloud’s platform. Afterward, the data will begin to take shape.
The conversion is not charged, although users will be charged for the uploading bandwidth and the computing capacity. Other features of the new service include the further development of compatibility between VM Import and other OS like Windows, Linux and visualization platforms: Hyper-V and Xen Server.
The team up is a big one, and VMware has been on a partnering streak with some major partners lately (then again, what’s new?) VMware announced a partnership with Compellent Storage Center in order to improve the financial return of cloud computing offered services. The new improved features are reached with the integration of an automated process for moving, protecting and recovering data from all types of dangers.
Amazon proved a growing interest in the cloud computing environment during the middle of 2010, when they began a deal with Nvidia for graphical processor units, thought to improve the performance of cloud computing services. The momentum was characterized by the introduction of Amazon Cluster GPU Instances.
In their strategic plan to increase the number of clients and returning users, Amazon decided to drop down the prices for web services like Simple Storage Service. S3 is the most popular data storage service of Amazon, offering solutions for storage of media files or backups.
