VMware has been a staple for enterprise IT for many years, and the recent addition of VMware
Cloud on AWS has finally made working in the cloud a lot easier for VMware customers. It reducescomplexity and eliminates the need to retool for the cloud, and also makes the cloud an attractive
destination for disaster recovery. As adoption grows, customers need to consider the best way
to backup their VMware Cloud VMs and how to integrate back to their on-premises VMware
environments to fully take advantage of hybrid cloud.

management experience across your VMware environments. Cohesity provides a single platformthat consolidates data and infrastructure silos across clouds and on-premises to deliver a unified
