Why would a business choose Aruba Cloud over AWS or Azure?

Aruba Cloud keeps data on Italian/EU-owned data centres, which matters for businesses with strict GDPR data residency requirements, EU subsidiaries, or customers who require EU-only hosting. It's also VMware-based, so existing vSphere skills and workloads transfer directly. We help you assess whether that fits your compliance needs.

Can you help us stay GDPR-compliant on Aruba Cloud?

We architect deployments for EU data residency, help align configuration with your Data Processing Agreements, and set up access control and audit logging — though final GDPR compliance sign-off should involve your legal/compliance team; we handle the technical architecture.

Do you migrate existing VMware workloads to Aruba Cloud?

Yes — since Aruba Cloud Enterprise runs on VMware, migrating existing vSphere workloads is often more straightforward than moving to a non-VMware platform. We handle the vApp templates, resource pool design, and cutover.

What disaster recovery options does Aruba Cloud offer?

We design DRaaS across Aruba's multiple EU data centres, with RPO/RTO planning per workload and tested failover — so a DR plan is proven to work before you ever need it, not assumed to.

Do you support hybrid cloud between our data centre and Aruba Cloud?

Yes. We set up VPN or site-to-site connectivity between your existing infrastructure and Aruba Cloud, so you can run a genuine hybrid architecture rather than an all-or-nothing migration.

Our Approach

Compliance Isn't an Afterthought

Data residency and GDPR obligations are designed into the architecture from day one, not bolted on after deployment.

🔐

EU Data Residency, Verified

We architect deployments so data actually stays on Aruba's EU/Italian data centres, with the documentation your compliance and legal teams need.

🏢

VMware Skills That Transfer Directly

Since Aruba Cloud Enterprise is VMware-based, existing vSphere/vCenter expertise carries over — no re-learning a proprietary platform.

🛟

Disaster Recovery Across Real Data Centres

DR plans use Aruba's multiple EU data centres, with tested failover — not a backup that has never been restored.
