VMware vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud will provide customers with on-demand access to vCloud Air with the swipe of a credit card.

“Since introducing VMware vCloud Air a year ago, VMware has made significant strides to provide customers with a hybrid cloud platform they know and trust,” said Bill Fathers, executive vice president and general manager, Cloud Services Business Unit, VMware. “As we continue to expand VMware vCloud Air into new markets, with more services than ever before, we are only just scratching the surface of what the service will become the industry’s leading hybrid cloud platform for delivering innovation as a service from the data center to the desktop and mobile applications.”

VMware also announced an expanded early access program for VMware vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand – providing customers with on-demand access to vCloud Air with the swipe of a credit card. First introduced as a beta service at VMworld US 2014, VMware Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand will provide billing in arrears only for the services consumed. The early access program is expected to be available in North America and Europe in November 2014.
