When VMware Inc. made headline news last week with the announcement that it would launch its cloud service on Amazon Web Services Inc., a number of companies began scrambling to see how they might fit into the new picture. That wasn’t necessary for CloudEndure Ltd. because it already had a seat at the VMware table.

Shortly after VMware’s announcement, CloudEndure released the news that its disaster recovery and live migration solutions were already available to customers of VMware Cloud on AWS. The company’s disaster recovery solution offers block-level, continuous data replication with automated failover to Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Platform as well.

“We can move you to the cloud and orchestrate it from discovery to deployment through a single toolset,” said David Wegman (pictured, left), executive vice president of CloudEndure. “That’s different from what’s out there today. We were born in the cloud, we live in the cloud, we get the cloud.”

Wegman spoke with Lisa Martin (@LuccaZara), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, and guest host John Troyer (@jtroyer), during the VMworld conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was joined by Ken Sze (pictured, right), sales engineer at CloudEndure, and they discussed the company’s approach using block-level replication and one recent use case involving the migration of thousands of servers.

Resilience for the hybrid cloud

CloudEndure’s partnership with VMware followed an announcement in July that it would launch a suite of multi-tier solutions designed to provide resilience in the hybrid cloud. The company’s technology is designed to prevent loss of critical data while keeping downtime caused by network failures or human error to a minimum.

“We do block-level replication,” Sze explained. “We’re not taking incremental snapshots and then building it up. We’re literally taking any changes at the block level.”

Large enterprises are testing the cloud and beginning to migrate workloads into off-premises environments, according to Wegman. That’s driving business to CloudEndure, including a need by one large European bank to migrate thousands of servers from an on-premises data center to VMware Cloud on AWS.

“We were able to support that migration through a single toolset,” Wegman said. “They wanted to cut their operating cost, and they wanted to be able to scale up and scale down. They saved a lot of money doing that.”
