Azure VMware Solution: Seamless Migration and Extension for Enterprise Workloads

In today’s rapidly evolving IT landscape, organizations face increasing pressure to modernize infrastructure while preserving existing investments. Azure VMware Solution (AVS) offers a compelling pathway for enterprises looking to harness cloud capabilities without disrupting critical VMware-based workloads. This comprehensive solution enables you to run your VMware environment natively in Azure, requiring no refactoring of applications and eliminating downtime during migration.

Seamless Migration

Move your entire VMware infrastructure to Azure without the complexity of rearchitecting or rewriting applications. This approach preserves your existing investments while enabling cloud adoption at your own pace.

Familiar VMware Environment

Continue using the VMware tools and processes your team already knows. AVS provides fully Microsoftmanaged infrastructure running vSphere, vSAN, and NSX-T on dedicated Azure hardware.

Disaster Recovery & Backup

Implement robust disaster recovery strategies using Azure as a cost-effective failover site. This approach significantly reduces secondary datacenter costs while improving resilience.

Modernization Pathway

Begin integrating with native Azure services including Azure AI, Azure SQL, and Azure Storage to enhance your applications while maintaining operational continuity.

Native Azure Service Integration

Leverage Azure Monitor, Azure Arc, and Defender for Cloud with your VMware workloads for enhanced management and security.

Tool Compatibility

Continue using your existing VMware management tools and processes without disruption to IT operations or requiring staff retraining.
