Compete on the value of your cloud

CenturyLink Managed VMware Cloud on AWS delivers an integrated solution on a single pane of glass for enterprise workloads that combines the agility of AWS public cloud with the security and control of a dedicated private cloud.

This gives your IT team extreme flexibility and the freedom to develop, test, and run apps wherever it makes sense—without sacrificing consistency in performance or cost.

Run your VMware applications within AWS data centers—with access to AWS services—without undergoing costly and risky app rewrites.

Use the same tools you use in today’s VSphere, or VCenter, Site Recovery Manager, vRealize Suite and NSX across both your VMware Private Cloud workloads and workloads on AWS.

Control provisioning, lifecycle policies and set VMware site disaster recovery to protect workloads on premises, in the cloud or offsite.

CenturyLink experts bring the most recent training, certifications and real-world experience to accelerate your digital business. Get complete visibility across your public cloud, private cloud and data center for better governance of your data with our next-generation tool set.

Managed services

We’ll help oversee your workloads, apps, cloud environments and data center all the way to the edge. You won’t need to install and stand up new environments, learn management tools, or negotiate multiple vendors and bills.

Migration expertise

With 15 years of VMware implementation and operations experience, we’ll quickly and reliably migrate your VMware environments to AWS using CenturyLink® Dynamic Connections.

Agility

Switch to OpEx cost models by moving data centers to the cloud and simplifying IT operations. Reduce time-to-market and risk through automation and enhanced security.

Security

Divide the data center into distinct segments and define security policies and controls for each workload. This provides immediate responses to threats inside the data center and enforcement down to the individual virtual machine.

Disaster recovery

Replicate entire application environments to remote data centers, move them from one corporate data center to another, or deploy them into a hybrid cloud environment— all without disrupting the applications.

75%

of businesses fear a loss of control over their workloads.
