Dizzion Extends Its End User Cloud Platform to VMware Cloud on AWS
Denver-based End User Cloud (EUC) provider Dizzion announced in August 2019 the availability of a Desktop as a Service (DaaS) solution specifically designed for customers running VMware Cloud on AWS. The launch extended Dizzion’s existing End User Cloud Platform to a new delivery model, targeting organizations that need secure, scalable virtual desktops for geographically distributed teams.
The offering is positioned around a core challenge many enterprises face: giving workers reliable, secure access to applications and data from any device, in any location, without requiring organizations to manage on-premises VDI infrastructure themselves.
What Dizzion’s DaaS Solution Delivers
Dizzion’s platform is built for organizations in regulated industries where security and compliance are non-negotiable. Key capabilities included in the offering are:
- Compliance coverage: Solutions are designed to meet HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC requirements, making them relevant to healthcare, financial services, and business process outsourcing (BPO) sectors.
- COSMOS analytics: Dizzion’s proprietary COSMOS platform provides business analytics, user experience insights, automated provisioning, and orchestration capabilities, giving IT teams visibility into how virtual desktop environments are being used and performing.
- Device and location agnosticism: End users can access their virtual desktops from any endpoint device, removing the dependency on corporate-managed hardware.
- Elastic scaling: Delivered on top of VMware Cloud on AWS, the solution inherits the elastic, bare-metal AWS infrastructure, allowing organizations to scale desktop capacity in line with business demand.
How VMware Cloud on AWS Enables the Integration
VMware Cloud on AWS combines VMware’s Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) stack — including vSphere, VMware vSAN, and VMware NSX — with elastic, bare-metal infrastructure from Amazon Web Services. It is delivered, sold, and supported by VMware and its channel partners as an on-demand service.
A key architectural advantage of the platform for technology partners like Dizzion is operational consistency: if a partner solution already runs in an on-premises VMware vSphere environment, it can be deployed on VMware Cloud on AWS without re-engineering. This significantly reduces the time and cost required for partners to bring validated solutions to the VMware Cloud on AWS marketplace.
Jim Aluotto, Senior Director of Americas Cloud Provider Business at VMware, commented on the partnership:
“We believe that Dizzion’s solution will bring additional value to the VMware Cloud on AWS marketplace and ecosystem, by enabling IT teams to reduce costs, increase efficiencies, and create operational consistency across cloud environments.”

Real-World Use Case: Omaha Steaks
Omaha Steaks International was cited as an early customer using Dizzion’s platform to modernize its customer engagement center. Nate Rempe, Vice President and CIO at Omaha Steaks, explained the business driver:
“Dizzion’s solution provides the elasticity our business requires and delivers a reliable, fast, secure, and cost effective computing environment for our agents.”

Contact center and BPO environments are a natural fit for DaaS because agent workforces are frequently distributed, seasonal scaling requirements are significant, and compliance obligations around customer data handling are strict.
Why DaaS on VMware Cloud on AWS Matters for DevOps and IT Teams
For DevOps and infrastructure engineers, the Dizzion-VMware Cloud on AWS integration is significant for several reasons:
- Reduced operational overhead: Fully managed DaaS removes the burden of patching, upgrading, and maintaining VDI infrastructure, freeing engineering teams to focus on higher-value work.
- Consistent tooling across environments: VMware Cloud on AWS uses the same vSphere-based operational model as on-premises deployments, reducing the learning curve and enabling existing runbooks and automation to carry over.
- Elastic provisioning for variable workloads: Organizations with fluctuating workforce sizes — such as seasonal contact centers or project-based teams — can provision and de-provision desktop capacity programmatically rather than managing physical hardware lifecycles.
- Compliance by design: For teams supporting regulated workloads, inheriting HIPAA and PCI-aligned infrastructure reduces the scope of compliance audits and the effort required to document controls.
