However, medium to large businesses see the �leap� to public cloud as having many issues, especially maintaining same security standards when moving business critical workloads to cloud.

That�s why today we�re happy to announce AFORE CloudLink Encryption solution for vCloud Hybrid Service, making it easier for customers to secure & protect their sensitive applications data in the public cloud. AFORE CloudLink for vCloud Hybrid Service was designed for hybrid cloud, so you can protect your workloads wherever they reside, either on-premise or on vCloud Hybrid Service.

VMware understands the issues that most of our customers face when it comes to moving to the cloud, which is why we created the vCloud Hybrid Service, a cloud offering that provides a seamless and straightforward way for users to embrace the public cloud by seamlessly extending their data centers. vCloud Hybrid Service enables customers to move to a public cloud while leveraging the same VMware tools they have been using for years. This allows users to embrace the cloud, without the need to re-educate staff, deploy new tools or re-architect their applications.

However, as customers move forward with cloud adoption, their applications that contain sensitive data, including intellectual property, business sensitive plans and customer and employee personal information, need to meet strict regulatory compliance or corporate security policies. In addition, customers are concerned about security in shared cloud infrastructure and relinquishing control of their data to cloud providers outside of their environment.

AFORE CloudLink for vCloud Hybrid Service addresses these concerns by providing the following benefits:

• Mitigates compliance risk by securing sensitive data in cloud


• Allow user to maintain control of encryption keys


• Application and OS agnostic, no change to user workloads


• Easy to deploy and manage, with seamless extension to cloud

CloudLink is your answer to data security and regulatory compliance, allowing users to embrace vCloud Hybrid Service with ease and confidence. Not only does it provide the data protection you need, but it is straightforward to deploy and manage.
