Faction Partners With VMware

To redefine cloud attached storage with VMware cloud on AWS

Faction, Inc., a multi-cloud platform as a service provider, headquartered in Denver, CO, is aligning with VMware, Inc. to enable production-grade, cloud attached storage for VMware Cloud on AWS  deployments.

Faction’s Cloud Control Volumes (CCV) provides a scalable storage platform for VMware Cloud on AWS customers needing additional storage capacity. 

With CCV, a cloud attached storage solution, the company enables customers to augment their VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data centers with additional datastores that scale up independently.

Supported by patented high-speed network fabric to the AWS environment, CCVs are milliseconds from customer VMware Cloud on AWS environments. This performant storage augmentation solution supports DR, backup and production storage augmentation for VMware Cloud on AWS customers for overcoming storage capacity and scaling challenges with flash, or ensuring better data protection by keeping a copy on low-cost persistent storage.

GenPro, Inc., a transportation logistics company, used VMware cloud on AWS to provide infinite scale for their DR solution with Faction. With ongoing replication policies targeting VMware Cloud on AWS, GenPro is ready to move production workloads in the event of a disaster. VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) automates the recovery process and prioritizes which VMs are restarted in a recovery, while CCV solution provides pre-configured, cloud attached storage via AWS Direct Connect to the VMware cloud on AWS environment.

As we looked at VMware Cloud on AWS to provide us a flexible, scalable solution that was compatible with our existing VMware investments, we were glad to have Faction as a partner in the journey,” said Ari Weinstock, director of IT, GenPro. “Faction’s unique expertise in managing VMware environments, combined with their cloud networking expertise and Cloud Control Volumes, made for a solution that fit perfectly.

Faction’s cloud control volumes brings a solution to the market that enables hybrid cloud deployments and supports enterprise multi-cloud deployments. By partnering with VMware, the firm provides the needed ingredient in a distributed multi-cloud architecture that protects IT investments and promotes pragmatic cloud migrations that leave the customer in the driver seat.

VMware Cloud on AWS brings VMware’s enterprise SDDC technology to the AWS Cloud, and enables customers to run production applications across VMware-based private, public and hybrid cloud environments,” said Mark Lohmeyer, SVP and GM, cloud platform business unit, VMware. “Faction has been an amazing go-to-market partner, combining managed services with VMware Cloud on AWS to help customers extend existing data centers, move operations entirely to the cloud, and better safeguard their organizations with critical DR capabilities. Faction’s Cloud Control Volumes allow IT teams to reduce costs and increase agility by providing flexible storage options for their VMware Cloud on AWS environments.
