When deploying PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE, two possible deployment environments are VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC on AWS) and the AWS Marketplace (AWS). The following table describes the supported deployment configurations of the two products:

AWS Marketplace	AWS Marketplace

When deploying PowerProtect Data Manager to VMC on AWS, an Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) is used. This puts PowerProtect Data Manager into the VMC-on-AWS environment in order to protect the VMware assets. When deploying PowerProtect Data Manager to AWS, a machine image is used. This puts PowerProtect Data Manager into a cloud-marketplace environment, but still allows the VMware assets in the VMC-on-AWS environment to be protected.

For more information about the different deployment types, see the PowerProtect Data Manager Deployment Guide and the PowerProtect Data Manager Amazon Web Services Deployment Guide.
